Trading: fix 2000-tick chart looking wildly different
Thursday, August 28, 2025
It is normal for tick charts to look a little bit different between different charting software (NT8, QT, Sierra) and between different data providers (CQG, Denali), because of how each one aggregates and displays the tick data. The key here lies in a little bit different. In a normal trading session, a “little bit” means the swing highs and lows are identical between charts, the price action moves and setups are identical, and most of the bars are identical, but here and there you might see a difference in the open and closing prices of some bars (not all).
