Discrepancy of MACD between Ninja and eSignal

[alex.nt]

Hello,

I have 2 data feeds connected with Ninja: Patsystems (#1) and eSignal(#2)

On the screenshot you can see that on Ninja's chart MACD has not crossed yet (the Diff > 0 at 16:45 on Ninja chart), while on eSignal's chart there is a cross at that bar (16:40 on esignal chart). Note, the difference in bar time is due to different ways of timestamping: eSignal uses open's time, while Ninja - close (but that's not the point).

The question is: why is there such a big inconsistency?

I am guessing that Ninja uses Pats feed thus a discrepancy.

Please advise.

Thank you.

Hi alex.nt,

Thanks for your post.

This may be related to a difference in data. Is NinjaTrader using only the PATSystems feed or does NinjaTrader also connect to eSignal in your case?

Hey Kyle,

As I mentioned, Ninja is connected to both feeds, Pats and eSignal. Pats is the first feed though.

Hi,

Reversing your connection order will ensure that all data originates with the eSignal connection - this should cause the charts and the indicators in those charts to more closely match.

Unfortunately, I cannot work this way.

Did you try to set the NinjaTrader indicator to CalculateOnBarClose = false?. Otherwise the indicator value will not plot for the last bar, which has not yet completed.
