Hi and Merry Christmas, I recently updated my computer to a new unit and therefore had to reload SC onto it. My previous version was 1282 and the data supplier was SC Forex Data (FXCM) ... and I am using the same data on the new computer c/w the latest SC version 1495. However, I also check prices against Barchart.com from time to time, and noticed quite a variation for Nat Gas cash. My charts for Natural gas using FXCM indicate the major low for NG was $1.60 on March 4, 2016 ... yet the Barchart.com low was $1.49 on the same date of March 4, 2016. Am I using the wrong chart symbol somehow, or is there a reason for this discrepency? I also note a few of my other charts have had a small yellow pop up window appear on them indicating the symbol has changed. So why would they appear on the charts using 1495 version, yet never appear on my laptop that uses the 1282 version? I certainly would like to resolve this, as I use these major lows in my calculations for price projections and retracements, and they need to be accurate. I'm hoping free data is as accurate as the product from other suppliers that charge for the service. Maybe you can recommend another free data feed that is perhaps more accurate. Thanks in advance for your help. Best Regards, Jim
