Ninja Trader - constant volume bars

Quote from maxpi:

Ninja has volume bar charts and they work perfectly in my experience. In the help section they have the specification on how they form tick and volume bar charts, they get it right. Tradestation is the worst for volume charts, you can make two charts with different bar intervals and the cursor won't track correctly......

Max, what feed are you using to power NT?

TIA

OpenTick and IB, I set up the OpenTick feed to be backed up by the IB feed but typically I use just the IB feed in realtime...

Volume based bars with "snapshot" data...is that very accurate using IB realtime?

I don't use the volume bars actually, just commented on the fact that they get it right... I don't trust the data from OpenTick really either... IB and time bars and volume though, good enough for what I do...

I've found it to be quite sufficient. After-the-fact I can spot a few minor variations during a session, but in real-time, none.

The fact that IB's snapshot data doesn't lag during busy periods is a plus, obviously
