What are the reasons for using a separate data feed instead of using your broker's?
I am experiencing this with NinjaTrader, which is connected to the API of TWS, but I remember I had similar problems with other software. Also I think it is not related to the fact that IB does not time-stamp the data, as the lag of a delayed time-stamp would cancel out on global volume, which is not what I observed.
I never watch the TWS charts.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
I remember a bug in NT7 beta when connected to MBTrading: real time forex volume was completely different than historical volume on the same chart (after refreshing the chart).
I gave up with NT (somebody wants a lifetime licence at $349?), but I'll test it in TWS on monday.
I was not talking about FOREX, as Interactive Brokers does not supply volume for IDEALPRO. I was talking about futures contracts, the volume of which can be easily tracked, as they are only traded on one exchange.
