Hi 5speed, I'm not sure if you're familiar with tradingview.com but where do I find the SPI dec18 chart like you have above.... can I ask which charting program you use

Thanks in advance
It does not look like you can a feed to trading view but something that is similar is called updata analytics and you can get a bunch of feeds in there. Most of the trading I do is by robots or scalping. I have a 10-15ms feed. The trade server is right next to the exchange. The problem with IB is data. The historical data you can download is nothing like the live feed data. The live feed data is only 250ms so updated 4 times a second. Most the trades I do can be over in less than a second and only micro seconds to get the order in. The bots I use look at real time ticks and check every tick so can see the trade going in a certain direction. With a snapshot 250ms feed you end up with gaps everywhere and no chance of getting the same results when back testing. With a tick feed you can download or record the actual ticks. Getting accurate trade data is paramount to success.

Thanks so much to yourself and 5speed for the info, I'm trying to follow you. So you use IG and have Bot attached to an MT5 trading platform

Is an MT4 platform ok or is MT5 the newer version
Your Broker and Data is from IG ??
Your Bot is from ??

If you prefer to comment me away from HC my contact details are below

And just so you don't think I'm freeloading for info, I've helped out several HC'er users recently with the Vector Vest program for stock selection

Thanks again
