Hi,

I've tweaked my system and finding I rely more on the need to have Daily and Intraday times having to match for Historical prices (i.e for instrument ^EURUSD). Does someone on Sierra have a configuration setup they are willing to share..? I've tried using -2 GMT but then run into having the Sunday Cradle and I'm not sure what exchange time the original Historical Prices are based on.

Thanks for any help.

Do not use the Forex symbols with a ^ character.


Use EURUSD instead. These symbols are 24 hours and start a new day at 17:00 US Eastern time.

Thanks for that Sierra but I really rate the ^ instruments as its the same data used by Barchart and my system seems to accurately trade well with these. Although I haven't tested the non ^ symbols like EURUSD (and I'll backtest) is the data as high a quality, if not more so, than the ^ instruments. I think I read somewhere that you do use unfiltered data for various markets... CQG is another I like.

We do not know what is meant by "high quality" data for cash Forex markets.

The symbols without the ^ characters are derived from FXCM data.

I just find the ^ symbol data a lot 'cleaner'. See the attached as an example.

Were you in discussions this year about bringing real-time LMAX data on board....for everyone and not just those with LMAX accounts

The LMX data will come, but that may still be a few months away.
