Hi,

I have seen many times there is big difference between delta values and forms when im comparing my delta and my trading partner delta. We both use same data feed (FXCM) we have both same settings, but delta difference is huge.
Let me show you example here:

My trading partner delta: http://clip2net.com/s/joFm26

We both have 5min AudUsd chart and delta difference is huge.
What should i do to fix this problem?

Thanks,
Silver

There are several things to check:

-Tick by tick data configuration:

-Time zone:

-Session Times:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_SessionTimes.php

All of these need to match.

And make sure that both copies of Sierra Chart are running an up-to-date version:

In the case of the Forex markets, you can safely use Cumulative Delta Bars-Volume. This will give you a stable result when the historical data is not 1 trade per record. We strongly recommend using this study instead.
