Hi,

I found some inconsistency between data providers: SC historical data, and Transact.
The bars are range bars, and I have made sure that data is saved in 1Tick units in both cases.
I also followed all the instructions in order to find and definition problem that may cause the diff, but couldnt find any.

This, of course, interfere with my back-testing..

Please, try to tell me what may cause the problem.
I am sure every provider say "Our data is accurate".. I am sure SC data is good- no complains, just tring to understand what is may be causing the problem and solve it.

BTW, I already compared with a third data provider (OEC) and found inconsistency there too (some match SC, some TA), so I cannot determine if I can use TA data..

Attached one example.

Regards, Eyal.

The most accurate data will always be the Sierra Chart Historical Data service.

For further information, refer to help topic 43:
Http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/helpdetails43.html

The other data feeds, you can definitely see slightly lower volumes at times. This has been our experience.

Also, if you are switching between different Data/Trade services, it is always important to re-download the data in the chart after changing the particular service, if the symbol is the same. To do this select Edit >> Delete All Data and Download.
