Post From: Real Time Data Feed quality

I am using around the last 6 month Sierra platform with the real time data feed. I am more than pleased with the platform as I have found everything I wanted in it. Although I do own a different platform as well as I have tested for an extensive period of time the platform that IB lease's Sierra is far ahead. But the data feed is absolute crap. If you are scalper you need tick charts you need the utmost precision on that one signal bar to take the trade. I have set the NTP server and my clock is +-0.0002sec. And yet the data feed prints bad bars. Once I hit the delete and redownload data I see why I lost some trades. The last days I payed for a month the data feed of kinetick to test it with my other platform in parallel with sierra, and the bars that I see in sierra after I hit delete and redownload I was watching them live in Kinetick. My point is I am not sure how unfiltered is the data you are offering. Since I like the fact that I pay one provider for all my trading costs and tools, I wouldn't mind paying something extra to have that precision that competitive data companies offer. |
