how are tick data and bars synchronized in Ninjatrader ?
I found, that tick data and bars are not in sync. For example:
- I imported tick data from external source and checked the option for importing minute bars
- Later when I click reload all data on chart -> the new bars are downloaded from CQG
As a result of this operation -> new and different bars are downloaded from CQG and they are sometimes (on some bars) different.
Is there any logical solution for this desynchronization between tick & bar data ?
I think, that reloading chart data is operation, that is sometimes needed for downloading of missing data. But this should not throw away all bars, that were created from tick data.
This is very important for backtesting. Otherwise, consistent backtesting is not possible, when there are missing fills or no-existing fills on bar data vs tick data., when tick and bar data are different.
Thx
