Seconds based charts and ticks

[stormze]

Sorry what will be the feature that will be added to NT7, time based event firing ?
I think both are important... tick/trades based events and time based events... I hope you support both of them in the future...

For example another thing I saw is that I had 1 minute chart opened in real time, then my connection went down for 5 minutes and when it came back the chart did not updated automatically with that 5 minute lost, the expected behaviour would be that NT request historical bars for the missing minutes

Hi, I just want to remark the importance of this design problem on NT.

I had a 1 minute chart opened for ES for about 1 day (collecting real time bars from my provider).
There was no interruptons in the internet connection, after 1 day I requested a "reload" of the data with historical bars, the result ?

SOME OF THE BARS OHLC VALUES CHANGED, and also some indicators values changed in value a little.

This is because NT is always closing a bar with a tick, instead of closing the bar every minute as it should.

Hope this clarify the issue a bit...

stormze,

That is not the reason why your data changed. The reason your data changed is because you are now drawing from a different server from your data provider. There can be data discrepancies between historical data and real-time data from data providers.

NT7 will have time based charts.
