Is it possible to use time values from datafeed instead of Time[0]?

[SentiTrade]

Hello,
we are developing an indicator that depends heavily on the correct time whenever OnBarUpdate() is called. However, Time[0] may not return the correct local time, e.g. because the client's system clock may not be synchronized with a time server.

Now I suppose that the realtime stock datafeed must contain not only stock data, but is also aligned with time data, i.e. every single tick coming in should come with a correct time stamp. This would make sense, because historical data are always displayed correctly.
Is there any way to access the tick's time stamp in the indicator code? I tried MarketDataEventArgs.Time, but this also returns the incorrect system time.

Looking forward to any comments on this,
Johannes Neubarth

SentiTrade,

Can you please clarify what data feed you were using with MarketDataEventArgs.Time?

Some data providers natively time stamp their data which means that data should be in line with their servers - however some providers are locally time stamped which means the time displayed is based off the local pc clock.

You can see a list of these providers and their real-time time stamps from the following link:

Matthew, thanks for the link - problem solved. We are using Patsystems data provider, so there are no native time stamps. Now I'm developing an alternative way to synchronize our indicator.
Cheers,
