but my problem his that I'm comparing two chart with intraday bar generation on it. I don't think it's the problem with look the look inside bar generation. Because some signal perfectly synchro with the realtime chart but with little difference in term of when the trade are generate inside the bar. but sometime the realtime chart and the backtesting chart are telling me different signal.

Hi phil,
There might be several reasons as to why the signals on real-time are different from the ones on history.
1. Historical and real-time data from the same data provider can be different. For example, this is often the case with eSignal.
2. The calculation is different. In real-time signals are calculated on every tick, on history - O,H,L,C.
If you believe that your case is different, please contact us via LiveChat to demonstrate the problem.
