Problem with IB data

I tried to plot a chart volume with MACD indicator applied on volume rather than price using IB data feed.

I found that the data collect in live doesn't match with the data after I reload after market close.

When you reload a chart,
the quotes are fetched from IB's historic database. The time stamp might be different from the streaming server.

Same problem found with esignal data.

And same problem also found when I refresh the screen during market open. The chart will look totally different when I refresh it.

is it impossible to collect correct data of volume in real time that is the same as the data when the market close?

is it a bug for multicharts or it is a common problem encountered by other platform too?

MultiCharts only displays what is received from your data provider.
MultiCharts does not do any data modifications.


If you do a web search, you will find many discussions on this subject.

Hello dingmanhoe123,

Here is how to do that:Online_Mode_Data_Collection

Henry,

What will happen when "Collecting RT data" is ON, but with reloading of the chart (say, 1min chart) for that symbol? What will happen with reloading of both a "tick-based" chart and a 1min chart?

What values will be stored in the database for 1min, after such reload? For ticks?
