2000 Tic chart different from Ninja Trader Tic chart

I am following someone who trades using Ninja Trader. I am not certain of their data feed. We both have 2000 tic charts. The swings in our charts seem to be at the same price values but the candle sticks getting to the swings differ. Are there any chart setting tweaks I could utilize in an attempt to see if I can get my chart to align with his? I would think this is technically related as to when the count of tics for a bar is initiated.


After I posted this, I played with the tic value. Based on todays data (3-27-2025) I found if I changed my Sierra chart value from 2000 up to 2002 my Sierra chart looks almost identical to his Ninja Trader 2000 tic chart.

Should I expect a consistent chart between the two charting systems using a 2000 tic chart or should I anticipate there will always be differences?

Regarding this, refer to this help topic:
Number Of Trades, Volume or Range Bar Charts Do Not Match Setting or Are Not Accurate or Are Inconsistent

Yes most likely this is the reason:
I would think this is technically related as to when the count of tics for a bar is initiated.

There could also be slightly different data feeds where one data feed is missing some trades. We know that the Sierra Chart data feed does not miss any trades. This is something we monitor every day.

We would say it is probably very difficult to get an exact match.
