Tradestation data/charts quality/speed question

Discussion in 'Data Sets and Feeds' started by gangof4, Aug 8, 2007.

  1. I am scalping Crude and noticed that TS does not plot volume and OBV correctly while Sierra Charts - which I use as a front end fed by IB - shows more accurately what's happening.

    To discover this was a real shock to me because everybody on this board is bashing IB for their data being abbreviated.

    Some of the discrepancies are dramatic and alarming.

    Specifically, yesterday was a brief intense period in CL (sept) where my 15 second Sierra Chart showed 5 or 6 volume bars next to each other and each bar showing volume over 1000, some over 1500, and the TS (which has no second bar charting?!) did not pick this up on the one minute chart. Not even a blip!

    This should give some purists some thought.

    TS is still a great charting program.
