It doesn't matter what indicator I use whether that be a moving average or a MACD. When I replicate the same chart on both platforms, the values of any indicator are completely different.
Here is an example taking "stock" settings of a MACD with duplicate chart/indicator settings on DTN ProphetX vs. NinjaTrader http://www.screencast.com/t/dfwvPOZ6k5r.
This completely changes a strategies entry/exit capabilities. I first noticed this when working on automating a strategy with NT that I have run on DTN for several years. The outcome in profitability was night and day. One that was profitable on DTN was not so profitable on NT using the same algo.
I thought the algo was incorrectly translated over but then realized that the indicators were giving different outputs when monitoring it's performance in real time.
Would love some input on this subject if anyone has had similar experience and what your resolution was - or perhaps it is something on my end in how I have my NT charts set up.
Thanks!! - MichelleK
