SC Team - So far under impression that there is no difference between delayed & live feeds except delayed is around 10 minutes delayed.

Noticing the number of trades for a daily bar built with intraday data (1440 minutes) - differs in the number of trades between live & delayed(All the other parameters being the same - timezone / Session timings.

For example (# of trades) - 4/15/20 - Live vs Delayed
NQ: 366733 vs 366740
YM: 167206 vs 167215
ES: 1105826 vs 1105842

Any logical reason for this? If we do expect very subtle differences between the live/delayed feeds - it's OK as long as it is expected. But based on your description about delayed feed - it's same as live feed except for the delay - wondering about the reason for the discrepancies(very subtle though).

Thanks
