Post From: Inconsistent data from VolumeByPrice study when back-testing

When you look at the chart during the replay, do you notice any issues with the Volume Profiles displayed? You should not.

These functions will work 100% accurately and consistently under all conditions:
sc.GetVolumeAtPriceDataForStudyProfile and sc.GetNumPriceLevelsForStudyProfile

They simply will access the data from a volume profile, as it exists at that moment in time.

There simply is no other possibility.

We have no idea what your code is doing and how you are coming to this conclusion.

We do not specifically understand this:
data starts getting inconsistent. I start getting different volumes.

It is impossible really for us to comment on this at all. It really requires a detailed level of debugging which we cannot get involved with.
