Is there a way to exactly match the Renko chart on NT8 to match TOS?

They are not in sync and I cannot figure out for the life of me on how to make NT8 match TOS Renko bars. Hopefully someone can help me out here.

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

Glad to assist. To test, please use the steps below to check and sync your PC clock:

• Shutdown NinjaTrader
• Right-click the clock in the lower right corner of your desktop
• Select Adjust date/time
• For Windows 10 click 'Additional date, time, & regional settings' -> then click 'Set the time and date'
• Select the 'Internet Time' tab at the top
• Set the server to time.nist.gov and then click Update.
• If the message that appears says successful your PC clock should now be updated.
• If not, select a different server from the Server: drop-down and try again (repeat until one of the servers is successful)

After updating the PC clock, please restart NinjaTrader, then right-click the chart and select Reload All Historical Data and test for issue.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.

Renko is a synthetic bar type created by differencing. Are you sure that your timeframe, start time, and timespan exactly match on NT and TOS? Even then, each chart will still depend on the underlying data. TOS uses snapshot data. The only time that you are likely to have a match on different platforms is if both platforms use raw data, because different platforms snapshots may still not match.

Yes, they don't behave at all and it looks like others have ran into this problem as well.

This thread also details the "difference" problem..
