The biggest 1 day difference I have documented is for one day, for one stock equaling about $300 When I found the problem and before I documented it, I had a month that changed by about $2500. Overall it feels like its off by about $4k this year. I was trusting their systems to keep track of...

It does but the results change.

I understand. I am hoping they will solve the problem. I need to get to the right person to get their attention. I just want TS and myself to agree on a simple way to determine daily realized trading profits while they tweak their systems. IB has awesome reports but there are issues with their...

Nope and nope. I am trying to get to the bottom of it. Problem is you can export the file from the manager analysis and get one set of results, do it again in an hour and get different results. Could try to use the daily trade confirmations to run my own tally, but if you look at how that is...

Not getting anywhere in this conversation. Bill Cruz was my tech support contact person, so been at this quite a long time. I do not use time based charts. TICKS MATTER.

The point is... using data from one source and trading at another is problematic if they don't line up. When I trade at TradeStation, the data and quotes always lineup 100% of the time, not so with IB using IQFeed.

I have experienced both. It is not off by the various trading costs. Been off by hundreds of $ in a day. The Gain/Loss function and the tax reporting website tools are also off. In addition you can't select current days trading for gain/loss nor select a custom range of days.

When trading charts based on volume, ticks or range there is a big difference.

And this is ask data

Above pic and count is IB vs IQ trade data

In fact I find differences in trades as well

Lets say we agree to disagree. As a rule I always run 1 tick charts for bid, ask and trade. I wrote a counter to count each tick. No matter if its a stock or futures, the count is different between brokers as well as data providers.

Further on this general topic, I would like to route That is true of trade price but not bid/asks.

I have tried to use both. When I have a large number of trades in a day, I have errors with both. I have screen shots that show the values being one amount after 8PM EST and another amount before 4AM EST. At the moment, no confidence in their reporting. I take a screenshot and print the manager...

Daniel.a, Thanks for the feedback. I am going to run some trading tests using IQ and map my trades to IB.

j_medved, I was not aware of those particular IB limitations. Given that the automated strategy is demanding 1 tick resolution for intrabar calculations, that explains why it is so slow, I will run some other chart type tests. I am concerned that I will have prices/orders using IQ that are not...

I have worked with MC support, they say there is no problem on their end.

roca, Not 1 chart, but several at one time. Totally impossible for me as I look for opportunities and want to jump on it. I am still trying things to figure it all out. I am concerned that the data feed from IQ will not sync 100% with IB. My tests so far show that there are more bid and ask...

Huge amount of time. If I have a workspace of 10 charts it can take 30 mins. I am trying things like saving cache data to speed it up, but still exploring options. I am running tests with IB, TS and IQ data. The really slow chart issue is with IB data.
