One thing we observed in your chart images is that the IQ feed volume profiles have a smoother appearance on the right side. We wondered what this meant. If you have a look at the below images, you can see that 1 Minute data has a smoother appearance on the volume profiles compared to the 1 tick data.

1 Tick data:

What this means, is that the Sierra Chart Volume Profiles are far more accurate than what you have with IQ Feed. There simply is no comparison here. The market data platform that we have developed, is on a much higher standard than IQ Feed.

Yes, there can be small issues in the historical data, mainly missing ticks. But you can drive yourself absolutely crazy trying to perfect every one of these little defects. You need to understand our perspective on this. The data we have is 99.9999% accurate.

If you are on the other side of this Support Board, answering questions, you may have a tremendous appreciation at how calm and cool we actually are here.
