Question regarding charts saved from IB feed

StockStalker · 04-23-2011, 10:14 AM

I have the "Save chart data as historical" and "Record for market replay" boxes checked in the options menu.

On thursday I had a chart open the entire day for one stock, in order to record it and save it as historical + market replay.

At the end of the day, I compared the chart that was saved as historical VS the chart the market replay feature gave me. And for some reason these charts look very different to one another.

What I need to know, is which of these charts is the most accurate one compared to real-time?

Hello StockStalker

Can you clarify what difference you are referring to by way of example and/or screenshot?

If so, please upload or detail what aspect you want us to review.

Thank you,

I've attached two screenshots:
- The first one is a 2-second linechart from saved chart data.
- The second one is a 2-second linechart from market replay.

Notice the huge difference both in patterns made and even in price and time. Keep in mind, both these were collected from the SAME data source (IB).
