  1. I have a vague recollection from two or three years ago that zen-fire/ninja timestamps its bars differently from what is conventionally done, so the data may seem to lag, but in fact it does not.

    For example, if you use CME or even e-signal, the opening 5 minute bar will be stamped as the 9:30 AM EDT bar, but on Ninja, I believe that the opening 5 minute bar is time stamped 9:35 AM EDT.

    Again, this is from memory, and not a recent one at that. But I do believe it to be an accurate one. I have not had time to check it again for myself, but anyone who has a Ninja feed could easily check to see if the bars are timestamped by the bar's open or the bar's close. I beleive it will be the bar's close.

    The politics of this thread aside, this kinda has me curious to how this affects one's info for their trades. If you are trading on limits and stops. doesn't really make a difference, but market orders can get significant slippage if the data you are trading on is behind what is printed at the exchange. During the time we mentioned, there was a 6 pt difference from one minute bar on one chart to one minute bar on the other. I'd be concerned if I am using zenfire and my feed is delayed or such.

    I will compare time and sales this weekend when they are printed to see if there really is a discrepancy between what I get from both vendors

  3. I'd be kinder with proof, otherwise this whole thread is a sham, and many will be turned off when nothing comes up.

  5. What is wrong with being confident? Not my first rodeo pal, done this many times in public and in private. I can show you threads where I have made it, but I won't. Fact is, I enjoy the drama. [​IMG]
