Post From: Bad Data?

AnimalHungry,

A few years ago I used an old version of the Market Delta Footprint that worked in the OEC Trader. I have no doubt that the OEC data is good in the OEC Trader or the Market Delta Trader that works with OEC, but you should keep in mind that OEC has a financial relationship with Market Delta (it's not free). They have every incentive to make sure the data is accurate. On the other hand I don't know of any financial relationship between Sierra Chart and OEC.

The bid/ask data is OK when the markets are slow, but when the volatility picks up the bid and ask gets mixed up or all the volume will go to the bid or ask. Why this is? One side blames the other. I just follow the simple rule: you get what you pay for.

The historical data is good, but the real time data is not. Why - another mystery of life.


Good Trading,
WT
