I was looking at a 5 minute GBPAUD chart and noticed a 3 pip variation beween NT8's bid price high and FXCM's bid price high. Both my NT8 chart and the FXCM web were connected to the same demo account. I did not have the PC version of Trading Station and NT8 running at the same time as I understand they use the same API and can conflict.
Nearby I also checked a swing low and in this instance the prices beween the two platforms were only 0.2 pips different.
I then did a quick check on NT7 and came up with fairly close agreement with NT8 with still the same problem compared with the FXCM Trading Station high.
Why is NinjaTrader showing different prices to FXCM's trading station on some bars when connected to the same account?
The reason I first noticed this issue was that I was stopped out of a demo trade at a price that according to NT8 wasn't hit. (Even after allowing for the bid/ask spread)
I am running NT8 RC2
Further Info: My live funded FXCM ECN account setup for NinjaTrader shows the same price issue as the FXCM demo account discussed above.
