Post From: Volume By Price discrepancy on 2 instances of SC

I run 2 instances of SC on my desktop.

One is using Teton and the other is using Interactive Brokers (cough) as the trading service. I subscribe to Denali.
Both are running identical Volume By Price Studies, running same chart book on both.
On the GlobalSettings>>Common Settings>>Allow Support for Sierra Charts Data Feed is set to "YES" for both.
The Symbols are for NQ, MNQ, ES and MES.
Both instances of SC using LA time zone.
Numbers Bars studies match on both instances.
Double checked Volume By Price settings and are identical on both instances.
The Volume by Price timeframe for both starts starts at 15:00:00 PT (evening session start time) and ends at 14:59:59 PT

Discrepancy exists between the Volume By Price bars, the peaks don't match, the profile just looks different. For example on NQ negative VbP peaks are -377 vs -76 (IB instance) and 178 vs 90 (IB instance)

My question is: Is the IB instance pulling data from Interactive brokers? I searched all over the support board and as long as you have "Allow Support for Sierra Charts Data Feed" set to yes the chart is using the more reliable Denali data feed.
