Tick vs higher timeframes.....

Hi

I just wanted to see if I am in the wrong ballpark on this or not...

specifically is it possible for a tick chart to reflect a price 13 (thirteen) pips higher than a 1 minute and all the higher time frame charts with the same feed and same broker?

Shouldn't the highest highs and lowest lows of the bid/ask tick feed reflect on the higher timeframes? Thus having a tick chart a price of say 1550 that same high would be seen on the 1 minute?

thanks for your help.

no. the high should be the high price in every timeframe viewed.

thank you...exactly what I thought...yet the people at fxcm had the gall to tell me...perhaps you don't know how a 1 minute chart is built...

a 13 pip difference and you have the balls to tell me it' normal that price doesn't reflect on ANY of the higher timeframes? Not to mention my other feeds but thats besides the point.

I have another complaint in review..I'll add this one then I'll can them for IB i think..or someone else...I'm sick and tired of their games...STP my a$$.......!

Maybe depends if they really send tick by tick data - IB does not. They send a representative sample every x / 10ths seconds. I've had tick charts and 1-minute from them be way out of whack (or really "whacked"). Ken.
