My best friend & I have been sim trading on NT8 since early last year. We constantly have different prices & candles when using a 2000 tick volume chart and each tick obviously matters on that chart for us. We have done a lot of reading & have adjusted the PC's time to sync internet time. Now, the time has been stable for ever since.

We can usually get the exact same chart going if we open NJ at the exact same time. I come to realize this has to do with the Continuum feed coming in & how NT displays & prints the bars.

After reading here & seeing what Big Mike says about data feeds in a long thread called "Unfiltered Data"

It seems as though to get the charts the same or with more accuracy, we would need either Rithmic or Kinetic data feeds (I understand there's a huge difference in price).

Has anybody changed from Continuum to the more expensive data providers with a volume/2000 tick chart? What other information can you give?

Thanks

you cannot measure or define accuracy of either data feed;general unfounded opinions are that rithmic is better
