Something very simplistic

Okay, I did some checking - seems that QCharts has conflicting information.

For example, on the 10:04 trade, if you are connected to the sterling-10 server, you will get 848.25 as the open, like I did. If you are connected to the 64.210.188.29 server, you will get 848, like you did originally.

I check with a Tradestation user, and he had the same opens of those bars that I did.

Thanks for the help. I'm not that familiar with QCharts...how can
I change server? Or, is it even possible?

ctrl-alt-N will change it.

I agree, it will all even out I'm sure - and not all trades end up being as tight as those two.

However, it seems to me that QCharts could at least be consistent...lol.

Actually, the more important question may be whether the T&S from the data feed matches what's shown in the broker's data window. There are occasional (thankfully, very occasional) lags between one or the other. Once the lag was so bad I had to stop trading altogether. Then there's always the question of getting filled.

Not trying to be a wet blanket, but those who are still paper-trading, or who just started doing this for real, shouldn't assume that they're doing something wrong if their results aren't what was expected.

BTW, Quah, the spreadsheet you have posted is extremely helpful. If you could maintain it for another week, you'll earn points in heaven.

Thanks!

Yep, that changed one of them. Still, its pretty bizzare
that it made such a huge difference two separate times.

Thanks again!

So how are you going to know in advance which will be the more accurate? :confused:

I think he means that changing the servers changed one of the bars.
 
A lot of the trades today have been really tight. By tight I mean that the contract never traded at a better price then the profit target.

On paper I probably wouldn't have counted these fills.


Quah, do you find that you almost always get filled at your price, even if it doesn't trade through your price?
