Is IB feed ok for backtesting with rangebars

[dcmdp]

am I going to get inaccurate results compared to realtime tic data?

Do you think I should get a better feed?
Backtesting on rangebars is important to me?

Opinions are fine...IB data seems poor to me

Check with IB, but I think they are still sending out 'sampled data' which may or maynot be suitable, depending on the instrument and granularity you require for testing. ie 2 tick range or 20 tick range?? etc lol
