Kinetick - A new Market Data Feed Service for NinjaTrader
I agree with Fat Tails. If you use IB for minute-based charting or analysis, you are fine. If you use it for anything tick data related, tick chart, volume chart, renko chart, etc -- forget it, it is completely inaccurate and worthless.
That was my initial point, IB is useless with any tick based chart. But when markets get very heavy, I switch to time based charts and use the IB feed, just to be safe.
If so, how long back ? (please detail for daily, 1min, ticks as it might not match Last price spanning time for each)

Kinetick is a branded version of IQFeed for use exclusively with NinjaTrader. IQFeed (and thus Kinetick) offers 120 days of historical tick data backfill, as well as several years of minute data. Some instruments go back 5 years or more, most all popular futures contracts included.
Basically if you can get bid/ask tick data, you virtually own ask/bid minute data. That is all I needed to know.

Ray this is new to me so I want to clarify, so I can download bid/ask events for cumulative delta studies from IQFeed or Kinetick and NinjaTrader will pick them up now? I know IQFeed (Kinetick) support it, but didn't know NT did. That is why there is Gomi's recording framework, specifically for bid/ask events.
