Hello,

I would like to note the differences in tick data between Gain and MBT.

I just noticed this morning when I disconnected from my MB feed and connected to Gain for some historical data that when the tick charts loaded with the Gain feed there was a DRAMATIC difference in the candlestick formations... the MB feed which I had been trading all morning with produced a much smoother bar progression than that of the Gain feed. I'm guessing this is because there were more bars (ticks) produced with the MB feed thereby creating a more reliable chart, this could have a drastic impact on someones trading strategy! ... and of course when I went back to the MB feed the charts were forever changed due to the fact that MB has no historical data.... what a shame.

My advise would be DO NOT rely on the Gain feed if you are using tick charts.
