Volume discrepency

[doug.ragan]

I have Ninja through patsystems, someone else has Ninja through Zenfire.

Our volume indicator is showing very different numbers on the 1 min charts. His shows over 3500 Yen contracts, mine shows about 400.

Can someone help?

Hello doug.ragan,

Thank you for your post.

Differences between data providers will always exist to some degree. The only guarantee is that data from one provider will match on all systems.

From our Help Guide:

Different Data Feeds Different data feeds produce different charts especially when using tick based intervals vs time based intervals. Market data vendors each employ various methods for tick filtering, throttling and time stamping. As a result, no data stream is 100% identical and thus can cause subtle differences in charts. Since NinjaTrader supports many of the leading brokerage and data feed technologies, its guaranteed that two traders using NinjaTrader on different data feeds will have minor differences when plotting the same market and time interval.

The only way to ensure that your volume and price data are perfectly in sync with your friends would be for both of you to use the same data source.

This isn't a subtle difference, it is a large difference.

So is this a patsystems issue then?

doug.ragan,

NinjaTrader displays only the data it is provided. If you feel that the data you're seeing is incorrect, you would need to contact PATSystems.
