I'm using NT7 live and have IB live account and Kinetick Live account.
My question is about the diferrence in charts created from following two data on instrument YC YK or YW.
1) IB bid/ask live data
2) Kinetick bid/ask live (and/or historical) data.
The IB bid/ask live data charts draws line every time when there's a change in bid/ask price. Whereas, Kinetick live data (and also historical) chart only draws the line when there's a change in the Last (Traded) price. So the chart looks completely diferrent. (IB chart has more zigzag whereas Kinetick chart is smooth.)
I'm using two computers to compare the diferrence, and my connection is as follows. I'm getting live feeds for both IB and Kinetick. MarketAnalyzer shows same price, and the price marker in the right side on both charts show the same bid/ask price, but the Kinetick chart will not draw lines unless Last Price is updated.
Computer 1)
Live NT7 connected to Live IB which draws bid/ask chart whenever bid/ask price changes
Computer 2)
demo NT7 connected to Live Kinetick which draws bid/ask chart only when there's a change in the last traded price.
If you can make two connections to IB, Kinetick like above, and make chart on either YC, YK or YW and plot Last, Bid, Ask price on the same chart, you will see what I'm talking about.
Could you kindly let me know how I can fix it so that Kinetick bid/ask chart will be drawn everytime there's a change in bid/ask price?
Look forward to hearing from you.
