Hi Prov1322,

Many thanks for the insight, as I mentioned, I am new to this and really appreciate the feedback given. May I ask which broker you are using?

Thanks and have a great trading year ahead!

Bill...let me chime in here on the TS question (I don't expect that Jason will want to nor be able to "compare" the TS feed). I was a TS trader and left (fled is a more accurate word...) them for NT and a new broker.

There are numerous TS discussion threads about live data chokes (as I called them) that are still unresolved. The inside TS techs are aware of the issues and have no solution for these data delays and chokes. When you are a DayTrader, watching your charting/trading platform sit and spin on a daily basis at times of volume inflow, while you are looking to enter a trade or, worst case scenario, you are trying to exit a trade is not at all comforting.

I currently have "free" real-time and historic rithmic data feed through the broker and have been happy as could be about the switch. I know IB may be a little less expensive in commissions but I did not like the interface to NT and the fact that they did not have access to historic data.

Oh and by the way, TS does not participate in any of the rebate programs so you are paying monthly for the joy of questionable data.

Of course, YMMV...

All the best to you!

Trade Station

Hi Jason,

Thanks again for this info. How does trade Station compare in this regard, I know they offer tick data, but not sure if there are any other issues with using Trade Station as my Ninja data feed.

Thanks,

Bill

Forex majors

Thanks,

Hello Bill,

Unfortunately this is as expected. Historical tick data is not supported with IB in NinjaTrader. Range data is build by tick data, so you will only receive real-time data.

If you enable 'Save chart data as historical' at Control Center-->Tools-->Options-->Data-tab, you will save all real-time data you receive in charts so you can build historical tick data.

Other issue with Range Bars

Hi,
I have a different issue with opening up charts with Range Bars specified. The chart has no historical data at all and starts the first bar upon opening the chart. I am new to Ninja and this forum, so please excuse me if there is a simple solution to this issue. I am running off IB data and I checked that the connection, etc. was fine. converting to minute/daily charts brings up the charts with no issues.
Thanks,
Bill

That was the error. Thank you.

Glad to hear.

That was the error. Thank you.

easyfresh3000, would you see the same after a fresh reload of historical data, it could be you're dealing with a caching issue here.

[easyfresh3000]

The problem is still there.

Please bring back the old range bars!

I also have this issue. Very frustrating.

After installing 7.0.1000.8 last night, I noticed some of the Range Bars on my charts today were incorrect. The example posted is a 1/12 CL 7 Range chart. You can see numerous bars with wicks on both ends. I also exposed the OHLC data for one of the bars which shows an open and close 4 ticks apart. I reloaded my historical data just to be sure nothing was messed up there. I have the same issue on different instruments and range bars sizes also.
