Entirely different results IB vs. Kinetick data

[naxo79]

I get completely different results depending on if I run backtest on Kinetick or IB data. I am using 5m and 15m bars on eg. SGJPY and EURSEK forex pairs, but also on more "mainstream" pairs.
Which results should one trust?!

Kinetick is advertised as better but I trade on IB so cant really neglect that?

Hi naxo79,

There will be different data when using different data providers. FOREX magnifies this as it's not a centralized exchange. Advantages to Kinetick are increased historical data, historical tick data, and no pacing limitations for data requests.

FOREX is a special case and you should for sure test your strategy on a real time simulated basis using the same data as you plan on using for order execution - IB.
