Indicators look different after reload
Indicator lines look different after reloading with F5. The following chart images show the difference at how the same indicator looks before and after pressing F5 to reload. This can mean the difference between a winning and losing trade. I trade divergence visually on the chart. I may think I see a trade setup, take the trade trade, reload the chart, and realize there was not trade! Is there anyway to make the indicators consistent across re-loads?Tags: None

Hello Monpere,
One thing is that chart data can look different after a reload. See the following link, then:
Understanding why a chart can look different after reloading historical data from the server
Scripts also function differently on real time compared to historically, especially when you are running with CalculateOnBarClose = false. If your indicator is currently set to false, try changing to true and see if that aligns better the real time compared to historical plot for you.Ryan M.NinjaTrader Customer Service

Yes, Zenfire is time stamped natively at their servers. The data can still be different after a reload. When you reloading data, there can be a minor gap for the time it takes to deliver historical data from when you initially made the data request. This is usually only a couple seconds but can impact the chart display on tick chart like you are using.
The differences you're seeing though are most likely related to running the indicator tick by tick in real time, compared to only on bar close historically. Changing to COBC = true will align these better for you.Last edited by NinjaTrader_RyanM1; 04-26-2011, 11:44 AM.Ryan M.NinjaTrader Customer Service

When you reload historical data, the time stamp of bars is according to the PC clock of the historical data provider - NinjaTrader, in this case.
