MD FootPrint Chart Comparison with Different Data Feeds

Hey guys. I currently have MD with zenfire and want to know if the footprint bid asks are accurate. Can someone post a 5min footprint of theirs for 6E or ES? It would be nice to compare another zenfire and a iqfeed feed. Thanks.

I have heard through the grape vine that most of the broker feeds do not have accurate bid/ask data real time, including Zenfire. I included a screen shot of my Sierra Chart with Iqfeed on a point and figure 6 tick swing. Keep in mind that Sierra Chart number bars are NOT 100% accurate, but it is close enough for me.

Discovery Trading Group has screen shots of Iqfeed with market delta on a point and figure chart.

If you want accurate bid/ask data you are going to have to pay up for it: Iqfeed, Esignal, CQG…

I cant compare it cause I dont have any previous footprints...Is this normal? Also if you look at the bid/ask there is about 20, 0|0 bid/ask? no one traded there or is this also a zenfire problem?

In the second picture there is a gap in the middle of the chart...I dont think its normal? and the candle wicks are going all the way down to bottom of chart. wtf...

Hate to mention this, but how much do you pay for your data.

Add that to the 90% of Retailers who never learned the Trading Industry and therefore fizzle out before they really start, and you can see that we all must have decent raw data if we are to outwit the odds.

My Open E Cry has an accurate Footprint chart, only problem is that their Market Delta chart is like 5 years old.

Hope this Sierra Chart helps.
