When you compare CQG and Thinkorswim charts side-by-side, you find candles look different even in intra-day charts. Which one is accurate? I am currently using CQG (through AMP Futures) but considering move to Thinkorswim because of this issue. I am heavily using MT4 for chart analysis (I started trading career from Forex, I am new to Futures), and MT4 brokers support only Forex or CFD products. Thinkorswim charts are more close to CFD charts, although not exactly identical. Execution itself is not a big concern but when I put SL and TP, it's often confusing because I make decision based on MT4 charts... Any idea?
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
They both offer real-time connection feeds to the exchanges. They are both accurate. I have executed and performed analysis on both. Execution on TOS is soooooooo bad. Nothing beats CQG in my mind for charts. As for CFDs- please do yourself a favor and don’t trade them. Do you know what a bucket shop is???
Thats why Im switching to Ninjatrader, TOS data is truncated when using Tick charts its completely different.. do a trial with Ninjatrader, its a big difference
