Default replay not the same as live

why does replay not get the same results as live?

I run my cs live on Zenfire feed on 60 sec YM chart...while recording the data

when I replay the data with exact same cs, I get different results.

Why is the data not stored exactly the same as live?

Hi ATI user, the recorded data should be the same, but live vs. simulated trading are different environments as far as fills, delays and price level queues are concerned.

Do you trade the cs with a higher replay speed? If yes this means the simulator will potentially give you different fills...

I replay at x500 ...will test at x1

I am sure it is not a question of fills. It is a question of the bar data being different...i.e. start time of bars.

as mentioned....exact same results/fills at x1 and x500....

the issue is not fills

the issue is how NT stores live data and then replays the data.

trading live my cs made $2200

in replay with the same exact settings, it lost $150....

you can see my concern....my cs took different trades because the data changed in replay.

it strikes me that if I just watched one results live...disconnect Zenfire and connect to replay, I should get the exact same result
