Hello IG.

I am trading Wall Street on IG Brokers and using symbol 'US30' on a 1 min chart on Sierra. I use the 'SC Data- All Services' as the connection. I am finding I have a 10 to 15 pips difference between the IG prices and Sierra prices - e.g. on 8 Jan 21 at 18:44 (UK time) the High and Low of Sierra Charts was 30853 and 30809 but on IG (Mid Price) it was 30840 and 30797. As I scalp most of the time and use very fine support/resistance levels as my targets and stops, then this price difference causes problems. Is there any thing I can do about this? Is there a different symbol setting I can use with Sierra to get better alignment? Is there any other way to get better alignment?

Thanks - appreciated
Regards, Mark Boast

There is nothing that we can do about this, but we are going to be offering a new NASDAQ global indices data feed probably in the second quarter of this year which will have an index like this.

Have a look at Dow futures (YM) when scalping they offer several advantages over the cash indices.(e.g. availability of market profile and numbers ratio info). It is also likely that SC data will be ahead of IG.

Hello Sierra. Over the past month or so, I noticed the discrepancy between Sierra and IG on Wall Street US30 got less and down to as little as 3 pips (Possibly as a result of new exchange data?). But today, the difference has leapt to a massive 20 - 22 pips. This makes any scalp type trading very difficult to achieve and almost impossible to marry up Support/Resistance levels. Can you please advise why there has been this leap in difference when it seemed to be getting much better. Thanks - Mark B
