Getting erroneous charts.

[NinjaTrader_Matthew]

molecool,

Thanks for these screen shots.

Do the candles again appear normal after reloading?

Can you send me a screen shot of all your settings under Tools--> Options--> Data tab?

And to clarify, if Kinetick the only connection you're using? Do you connect directly through the Kinetick Adapter, or are you using the IQFeed client with your Kinetick account?

Just happened again!

Here we go - just happened again. I have both charts on a strategy but the one on the left is running without tick data underneath (which is what I thought may cause weird plots). Please see the enclosed chart.

Thanks for the update - I'll keep an eye out on this on my end without the filter enabled and let you know what I see.

It may be something else, but we cannot move to the next step until you have tried my suggestion as it is a necessary step. Please let me know after you have tried my suggestion.

Agreed - I did set that setting to 50% as suggested. I'll chime in here if it happens again.

Hello molecool,

There may be some ticks that come in off market in real-time which do not exist on the historical data server.

If you have not yet, you can employ the 'real-time tick filter' under Tools--> Options--> Data tab--> check "Filter bad ticks"

I'd suggest setting this to 50% off market.

With this set, should you receive a tick that is more than 50% away from the last traded price, it will not consider it a valid until you receive 3 consecutive ticks at that new price.

You may feel free to lower this % off market to meet your needs.

I don't think this is caused bad ticks as it's happening ALL the time to me now. Here's one I took just a few hours later:



This is happening way too often to be caused by bad ticks. I have used Kinetick (and iQFeed) for years now and bad ticks are extremely rare. Something else is going on.

In the past few days I keep getting strange erroneous candles/bars on charts running my strategy. Please take a look:

Here it is after F5/reload:

My strategy actually takes entries on those erroneous charts so it's a problem. My data feed is Kinetick by the way and the chart settings are on the first image.

Thanks,
