Hi S.C. Support, We made some comparison on IB data and TD Ameritrade data on stocks, and found that even with our shortest 1-second chart (chart 1 on sheet 1 of the spreadsheet), column A's entry shows they are 5 second apart. Changing Chart1 to a tick chart also does the same. (That each entry is 5 second apart). Where with TD's data, we are able to see in sheet1 that data is 1 second apart. Is there any setting we need to change regarding the IB data? Or this is due to IB's best intraday data is set to 5 seconds apart by its design? Thanks. |

Thanks. However after reading that link, I am unsure how I can get the 1 sec chart and sheet working with IB data. What do I need to change exactly so when I do the Replay Back Test, it will do it on second-by-second base? Thanks. |
