I get my historical data from DTN.iq. My realtime data comes from Trading Technologies. DTN.iq quotes CME Globex Japanese Yen/USD futures as 1.0753, TT quotes it as 0.010753. When I try to backfill a JY chart it show both data formats; the backfilled data in the 1.07 format and the live data in the 0.0107 format. How do I resolve this problem?

Hello jstnbrg,
Can you please tell me what connection sequence is used.
Did you create this instrument manually? If so, please tell me what parameters are used in the Instrument Editor window, such as tick size, point value and symbol mapping (Misc-tab).
Are you using the free license or a live license?

Master instrument: 6J
Instrument type: future
Tick size: 0.000001
Currency: UsDollar
Point value: 12.5
Rolover period: 3
Normally I login to DTN.iq first, then I logout of that and into TT.
I guess I created it manually quite a while ago, probably because of this problem, then I gave up.
I'm trading in Sim (not this instrument), it's currently a free license given me by my broker (Advantage Futures).

Can you please remove the manually created instrument from your instrument list and from the 'Available master instrument'-section as well (highlight it and click Delete).
Go to Tools-->Options-->Misc-tab and click Reset Instruments.
Add the 6J 03-09 instrument to your instrument list and create a new chart. Check if the issue persists.

I did what you instructed. The problem persists.

NinjaTrader acts like a radio receiver in that we display data as it is provided. Unfortunately TT and IQFeed differ in the price format, which causes the difference in display.
I suggest to delete all historical data for the 6J 03-09 (Tools-->Historical Data-->Delete) and use one data feed provider to provide data for this instrument.

Ok, thanks Jason. I was afraid that was the problem.
