Post From: Modifying FXCM prices to mimic the underlying futures - Possible?

Does anyone think this would be possible via some programming. I trade the 1min charts, mainly Crude. The trouble is that Crude futures on a 1m chart don't 'look' that good because of the 1 tic minimum movement. In contrast FXCM's 1m crude prices look great in comparison because they quote in 10ths of a tick. It's hard to describe unless you look at the charts. But FXCM's price is different from the underlying futures contract by 2-10 tics. So would it be possible to alter the FXCM prices (via some programming) so their prices would (almost) be the same as the underlying future when looking at the FXCM chart? Any comment as to the potential validity of this concept? Sierra is a powerful program so it could well be possible. Thanks for reading. PS. It's also the same on ES. FXCM's 1m data charts a lot better than the futures contract. |
