hi, i would like to ask you about my question which is on the screen. i will translate my message here.

volitility long bar - there is volatility long bar in section 1
huge volume - in section 2 we can see there is huge volume on this long bar

section 3 - how is possible the LONG bar has been traded for Bid price
section 4 - what exactly does this study mean?

in other words:

how can be possible the GROWING (long) bar has ben traded for DECREASING (selling) bid price?

thanks to everyone

This problem has to do with how the Interactive Brokers data feed works.


For accurate data and charting, we recommend using the Sierra Chart Futures data feed:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/SierraChartRealTimeFuturesStockDataFeed.php

What you can do for now is right-click before the bar with the large volume and select Delete Data and Download.

Interactive Brokers True Real Time Data does not provide accurate bid volume and ask volume which are necessary for some of the studies being used.

are you sure? i made this test.

1st pic: i use RECORD TRUE REAL-TIMEDATA IN INTRADAY CHARTS
volume: 2738
bid vol: 1447
ask vol: -1291

2nd pic:: i DID not use RECORD TRUE REAL-TIMEDATA IN INTRADAY CHARTS
volume: 2988
bid vol: 817
ask vol: -2171

3th pic: thinkorswim
volume: 2738

so, that is my reason to believe the data in "ECORD TRUE REAL-TIMEDATA IN INTRADAY CHARTS" are accurate, arent they. a have not been able to get bid/ask vol in thinkorswim but when i can see the volume are the same in bouth, it means the data are accurate. so, what do you say? where is the true?

Bid Volume and Ask Volume are not accurate with Interactive Brokers True Real Time data. This we are 100% certain of. The volume over a period of time may be accurate. But not Bid Volume and Ask Volume. This is clearly documented here:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/IB.php#TrueRealTimeData

For accurate market data use the Sierra Chart Real-time And Historical Futures Data feed:

Monkey Bars the study will allow you to also use candles/ bars etc

The study vs the chart type has more options

Also, if you are wanting to use Volume Profile - do not trust it. TOS does not have true tick data, they receive it in blocks

The nodes are not even close to being accurate at any setting

thanks to everyone for explanation. i did not know that. i thought if the volume 2738 is correct and i make bid vol 1447 +ask vol 1291 which is 2738 and this is correct, so i just thought bid vol and ask vol is also correct. i did not think this about regular datafeed from IB (not TRUE REAL-TIMEDATA IN INTRADAY CHARTS) i thought this just about TRUE REAL-TIMEDATA IN INTRADAY CHARTS. so, once again - thanks for this explanation.

anyway, once again this my question: if this case is on (i have no tick data but when i will see it i will check if this is going to happened. if somebody has tick data, pls check this case. if yes > then > how can be possible the GROWING (long) bar has been traded for DECREASING (selling) bid price?
