Hi Goldfish,

I will check those out. I agree candle sticks are formed better on min charts than tick charts. I often look at 5 min charts as well as my 3 tick charts.

Thanks,

Jazz

I trade mainly the YM and agree with others, Dax can be wild and very damaging...as a beginner you absolutely should not go there, until you have lots of experience.

IMO only .... Good luck.

Hi Goldfish,

I think I finally resolved the delayed data issue. I'm not sure how you connect your data providers. After setting both Kinetick and Zen-Fire connections at the start up and using the other providers as a back up data provider when you set up the account connection. I disabled Zen-Fire for historical data (not sure if this is critical). I now get real time charting for both equities and futures.

I guess you won't know unless you unsubscribe the futures data from Kinetick, then try this. It might be worth trying as you may save some recurring expense.

Hope this help.
