Why do live data bars differ from market replay bars?

Have you done the test I suggested - delete the historical data, restart, connect to the live data feed (with subscribed market data), download the historical data, compare the tick charts with your earlier screenshots - do those match the "realtime" chart from Friday or do they match the market replay? I would expect they would match the market replay and there's something wrong with your live data you received on the fly.

If they are providing "wrong" data to a user on the fly on a live account, they will get sued. So not sure what you are saying here bruce. Or wait, are we finally in agreement that NT is a scam? hahaha this is so hilarious. you are hilarious. and nt is hilarious.Last edited by imonlysleeping; 04-29-2023, 03:25 PM.

That's why I suggested you compare it with newly downloaded historical data so you would have a reference point.Last edited by imonlysleeping; 04-29-2023, 03:29 PM.

When data arrives in realtime it is recorded to your db -> tick, db -> minute, or db -> day folders. When I wrote recorded, to be clear, I meant your computer received it live and saved it to disk rather than downloading it ex post facto which is historical data download rather than recorded in realtime. That could be different than historical data downloaded later, depending on a few factors (the most obvious is if the realtime data was simulated, but also if it's a different provider who has different tick filtering or handling of correction ticks, or bundling, etc. or if maybe your computer missed some because the connection disconnected and reconnected or something else of this sort). For instance, if you recorded realtime data coming in live from Rithmic and later reload the historical data from NinjaTrader's servers (which record CQG data) there could be differences there and sometimes there are because there could be a server with an issue or a different handling of something. Re-downloading the historical you should be able to get a solid match from historical to market replay. For data in realtime there are additional questions which is why I suggested the experiment as a way of clarifying the matter instead of just talking about it.

I get the feeling you like wasting time, a lot. So lets just stick to my original post. When you're ready to give some kind of answer to that discrepancy, laid out there in plain english (with pictures) you go ahead. Though I would really prefer to hear from someone else. Or is bruce the guy they send in to numb the minds of the ones who are seeing what's really going on with NT? lol SKETCHY
PLEASE DO NOT WRITE ANOTHER POST HERE UNLESS YOU ARE SPECIFICALLY ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS LAID OUT IN THE FIRST POST OF THIS THREAD.

Originally posted by imonlysleeping View Post1. why is the data from the two images completely different if it all came from the same data provider and data feed?
start at the same time on the same day. That is, if one chart has
'Days to load' set to 3 and the other chart is not 3 days. Obviously,
the bars are built from the ticks, but the starting point for the tick
data is not in sync between the two charts, so this is reflected in
the bars, and it builds up over time.
NT7 had this issue a lot. It may be that the 'Break at EOD' option
when opening a new chart will re-sync the tick data at EOD, such
that new bars in the new session will be synced.
Do you have 'Break at EOD' set in both charts?
Are both chart using the same 'Trading hours' template?
I don't think I've ever noticed it w/Minute charts, which makes sense.
A 5min chart with 10 days loaded should still sync pretty well with,
say, a 5min chart with 3 days loaded replaying the previous day with
time warped 5min bars from Market Replay.
Originally posted by imonlysleeping View Post2. none of this was "recorded" to my local machine using the "record" option, BUT if the technology exists within NT8 for me to be able to "record" the live data i have coming in and then use that as historical data, shouldn't that be the same technology NT is using to convert the live real-time data into the Market Replay data?
Tools > Options > Market data -> Enable market recording for playback
You could also record your live data, saving it as historical data in the db
folders Tick/Minute/Day.
Tools > Options > Market data -> Record live data as historical
Market replay is a just a time-warped disk-based data feed being sent
to the chart window. In essence, NinjaTrader is lying to the chart window.
See if my answer to your first question helps your situation.
Hang in there!

I compared in excel for the period from 03/12/2023-04/11/2023 in total almost 30,000 lines with open, high, low, and close.
I first took the data thru Ninjatrader Continuum, and then thru PLAYBACK.
So I checked for differences in 118,668 cells in total. Difference was Zero. So for the whole period all open, high, lows and close are identical between the two data sets.

“mistake” lol. you’re kidding bruce. the mistake would be on the developers of NT, not the user of course. it would be a “mistake” to leave this kind of trashy potential within their application, rather than take care of it so that the user can’t see an issue like this. it’s pretty simple, in general, just don’t make your application so crappy.
the fact that i would even have to jump through the hoop described in detail by bltdavid proves my point about the NT madness, no? have any of you guys ever checked out any other professional trading platforms? i’d recommend go on out into the world and have yourself a look around. get more of a birds eye view. NT is a messy trash heap.
break at EOD has always been checked on my end, but i will still consider your detailed words bltdavid. thanks for the effort.Last edited by imonlysleeping; 04-30-2023, 08:44 AM.
