Post From: Confused about data feed from Interactive Brokers vs Sierra Charts Real-Time data feed

I have two symbols for trading oil: "USOIL" and "CL-201608-NYMEX". Until now both give me perfect results in real time trading and I don't mind using one or the other. The problem comes when I start using the study Numbers Bars and I realize both symbols give me entirely different results. I'm reading in different places over here that IB data feed is problematic and inaccurate and Sierra Charts Real-Time data feed is much better. Q1: The symbol "CL-201608-NYMEX" comes from IB, right? Is "USOIL" a symbol from "Sierra Chart Real-Time and Historical Exchange Data Feed" or not? I'm confused about this because I know it doesn't come from IB and it gives me real time data but I'm not paying for it. So where does this data come from? So then which one of these two symbols is accurate for using the study numbers bars? Q2: How about other symbols in CFD like XAUUSD and XAGUSD? Is numbers bars reliable on these symbols? Q3: If I start paying a monthly subscription for "Sierra Chart Real-Time and Historical Exchange Data Feed" then I will get new symbols for trading oil and metals? And these new symbols volume data will be more accurate than the actual symbols I can trade right now? Thanks in advance =) |
