Hi,

do you have any idea why certain indicators show completely different values on a chart with ZF and a chart with IQfeed. I do have two identical charts with a strategie open, but with different datafeed.

All indicators should show the same value, or at least very similar, correct?

Rgds,

Rob

Try looking at 1 minute bar data, and see if that is the same. That would tell you if the price data matches up. If that is identical, then it might be the way the bars are built.

Thanks Rob,

Although you are a Kinetick subscriber and not IQFeed, I'll be glad to help since this is not a Support issue. Just wanted to verify that you have real-time CME on your account. It is common and expected that streaming futures quotes (@ES#) will differ between IQFeed/Kinetick and broker feeds like ZF, so it follows that an indicator built from those feeds will reflect those differences.

There have been many discussions on the forum regarding the differences between IQFeed and broker feeds, such as:

Zen-Fire vs Trading Technologies vs DTN IQ and
Unfiltered Data

Forgive me if I've missed your point, but hope this helps.

Robert
