Hello WHICKED,
Thanks for your post.
This is because the Order Flow tools compare bid/ask prices to Last tick prices to identify buys and sells.
Since FOREX does not have a centralized exchange, there is no Last tick. NinjaTrader will substitute the Bid price in place of the Last price, so we can see results like this when viewing FOREX.
Up/Down tick calculation may be considered as an alternative when using Order Flow tools on FOREX.
Let us know if you have any additional questions.JimNinjaTrader Customer Service

Hello WHICKED,
Are you connected to a FOREX data provider that offers historical tick data?

Hello WHICKED,
The short answer is no.
FOREX does not have a centralized exchange, so there is no Last tick. NinjaTrader will substitute the Bid for the Last price in order to build a chart, but we cannot make Bid/Ask price comparisons to the Last tick to see if it was a Buy/Sell because of this fact alone.
I'm really not sure how that kind of analysis could be done with FOREX.JimNinjaTrader Customer Service
