I use live data from Gain for studying and backtesting my trading strategy for tick trading Forex pairs.
I subscribe to a service which supplies an excellent trading strategy and I watch Forex trading videos from their website where the demonstrator uses Tradestation charts. He usually trades in 144 tick intervals.
To synchronize my Ninja Trader charts with the 144 tick Tradestation charts, I have to make very big adjustments to the number of ticks on my Ninja Trader charts.
For example: When I set my EURJPY Ninja Trader chart to 55 ticks, it is identical to the Tradestation EURJPY chart set at 144 ticks.
Another example: USDCAD Ninja Trader chart set to 40 ticks is identical to Tradestation's USDCAD set at 144 ticks.
I work on a further 5 Forex pairs and they all have to be set at much lower amounts (between 48 ticks and 64 ticks to tie in exactly with the Tradestation 144 tick charts.
Is it usual for data feeds to vary so much? If it is, then that's okay but if it is not normal, am I having a problem with my Gain data feed?
