Hi, all,

When using NinjaTrader with openTick, the data is "ahead" compared with Thinkorswim.

Here is a screenshot:

For the data to correspond on this 1-minute chart, I have to look at 3:01pm in NJ/opentick and 3:00pm in Thinkorswim. You can also look at all the candles. They match in size, color, everything, but the timestamp on NJ/ot is always 1-minute ahead...

Please let me know what you think.

CBOT is free for live data, but I also subscribe to CME on opentick.

To make it easier to understand:
it's 11:00pm (my server-synchronized Windows XP clock says it just turned 11:00)
In Thinkorswim charts the new 11:00pm 1-min bar just started
but
in NinjaTrader with live opentick data, the 11:01pm 1-min bar just started

Am I the only one with this issue?

Thanks a lot,
Bert

NT has end-of-bar timestamps. Thinkorswim likely beginning-of-bar timestamps, you would need to ask them for clarification.
