Charrting Platforms - Tick by Tick Replay

Recommended Posts

Hi There,

Was just wondering fi there are people out there who can reccommend a chart/software package that provides Tick by Tick Replay at real time and of course at quicker speeds.

This would be much appreciated.

 

All the Best

Ensign Software has tick-by-tick replay with speed adjustment. Replay files are loaded from a historical file library or you can create a file from the day's data. I haven't used the software in a while so details of this functionally may have changed.

NeoTicker is more expensive but provides the best tick-by-tick replay of any platform out there. The 'simulation server' acts like any other data server the platform supports, so nothing can really tell the difference between a tick replay and real-time - which is amazing. You can replay 100+ charts all together. From 1x to 500x. But like I said, a bit expensive.

Investor/RT plays back the ticks at any user specified rate. It will playback the ticks of a single symbol, or any group of symbols. All charts, time & sales, windows, quotepages, etc, will update just as it if you were watching the ticks come in live (including playing back the bid & ask changes, etc). The users specifies when the playback begins, and can play, pause, rewind and fast forward the playback with the playback toolbar buttons. You can pause the playback...add some indicators or notes to charts, the continue.

Does this apply to custom instruments as well?

NinjaTrader does this as well, full market replay which includes all level I and level II data across all instruments replayed in synchronization.

 

....and its free.

I thought you had to 'record' the market in NinjaTrader in order to replay it?

Yes you do, but any market replay (NOT simply a bar reply) all aspects of data (all bid/ask/last price and size changes) are recorded for level I and level II.

 

That is the difference between market replay and a bar replay feature.

I really don't want to be defending NeoTicker to a NinjaTrader representative, but I feel the facts need to be stated.

 

NeoTicker allows market replay based of either real-time recorded or historically downloaded ticks. If you record in real-time, you can also set it up to record the various L2 levels (although it's not as straightforward as it should be).

 

Furthermore, the 'replay' capability is a full tick-by-tick replay, not a bar-by-bar replay - just like NinjaTrader - at 1x to around 500x speed. This can be done in 'simulation' mode for discretionary trading, or forward testing of strategies.

 

However, you can also choose to perform a quick 'tick replay' on a single chart (outside of the simulator), so that you can run historical tests for tick-by-tick trading systems. On my PC, I rerun a single day on the ES in around 10 seconds (that is a LOT of ticks) so that I can build bid/ask volume analysis bars and test strategies on them historically. I don't think you can do that in NinjaTrader either ;-)

 

Hope the record is set straight.

To be clear, what I am saying is if you want what NinjaTrader has -

 

Replay of -

 

Every single bid/ask/last price and size change in both level I and II, from what I know, you can not get this data from any provider thus you must record it.

 

Yes, you can run a trading system test in our Market Replay at speeds of up to 500x. Since its recorded, it replays exactly as the real market did.

Understood - the differences then are:

 

- NeoTicker allows you to run these replays from downloaded rather than just recorded data.

 

- It is harder to record/replay Level II data in NeoTicker (needs special setup).

 

- NeoTicker does not have a great 'discretionary' trading front-end like NinjaTrader.

 

- NeoTicker lets you run a simple 'tick replay' on a single chart for the purposes of setting up indicators that require tick-by-tick data (such as Market Delta style applications). This allows you to historically verify and test systems based on those types of indicators. This is different to a full market replay simulation (done chart by chart where you need it), and is hence much faster.

Thanks Gooni and NinjaTrader.

Its good to be able to get down to this level of detail between systems. It helps with the final decision. So thanks to both of you for taking the time to lay it out straight ..

All the Best

Yes, forsearch, replay works just as well on custom instruments. Ticks are built on custom instruments any time a tick occurs on any component or components of the custom instrument. And those ticks take advantage of market playback just like any other symbol.

 

Also, Investor/RT not only stores the bid and ask prices live, but it also captures and stores them when backfilling tick data from any of it's data sources (DTN IQFeed, eSignal, etc). So the market replay feature of Investor/RT does give you a true indication of the bid/ask prices at any given time. It also allows you to playback aspects of IRT that are dependant on bid/ask prices (like Volume Breakdown, delta coloring of MP charts, etc).

Only Level I though, not Level II - so same functionality as NeoTicker in that regard. There's no Level II historical data available, from the regular places anyway.

    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
