ES Data Looks Incorrect on Sierra Intraday Historical Data

Recommended Posts

Has anyone used Sierra charts and found the 5 min chart data from the Intraday Historical Futures data to be off a bit on the ESMO contract. Its not a lot, but it is showing more tails and just not matching it when I compare it to other charts. As I am replaying the market and then going back and comparing my analysis to others, this is a problem. I have the download set to tick data and have even exported the data to a text file, but that is really confusing me.

 

For instance on 4/21 the 9:00 am bar (CST) is showing 1207.25 as a high on my chart but on the exported data it is nowhere near it (closest is 1207.25's are at 7:24:15 and 13:47:15?) Sierra has the open of this bar at 1207, where other charts I am comparing this to has this bar opening at 1207.25 This is just one example.

 

If anybody has any idea what I can do to correct this, I would appreciate your advice.

 

Thanks,

 

Jim :crap:

Thats the point. It will not be a Sierra Chart issue. It will be either a data issue (most likely) or a user finger error. And you don't pay them enough to sort out your data vendor.

 

You said Sierra Chart (no problem with ES here but I use interactive brokers) and ESMO contract.

 

You can pretty much guarantee that whatever data you put into Sierra Chart will be faithfully recorded to file (using the specs you have selected) and faithfully put on screen. Actually pretty much is probably 99.9999% guarantee and I only leave 0.0001% hanging out in the breeze because maybe there was a situation I don't recall.

 

If they can capture it then they don't stuff around with it.

 

 

Which comes down to either a broker data issue or a broker/internet issue. The first is a lot more likely. So, start by talking to your data broker.

 

If you want help here then you should post charts of "good" and "bad" explaining 1. where the data comes from and 2. what time zones are involved in your charts. Maybe someone will spot what is wrong with your data.

 

 

Although you'd be better off posting them on the SC board and putting the data vendors names in your heading so that only those using that vendor need bother looking at your post. Then someone who's got the same vendor might be able to spot the error and point you in the correct direction.

I wonder.

 

You say exported.

 

 

When you export data with Sierra Chart it exports it on a GMT timeframe. If by export you mean what I mean. If you export using the worksheets it is different. So you can get fairly confusing finger issues when you mix and match.

 

If you're importing and exporting you need to read the help information very carefully and do a few experiments to make sure that what you think you are doing is giving you the outputs you need. If it isn't then change slightly.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
