Post From: Questions about Volume at Bid/Offer data..

How Bid Volume and Ask Volume are determined has been documented in the Sierra Chart documentation for years.

The general explanation is that if the trade occurs at the bid price or lower it is a Bid trade and if the trade occurs at the ask price or higher it is an Ask trade.

We did update the documentation with additional details but the general logic has always been documented.

It is very unusual that a data feed would indicate whether a trade occurs at the bid or ask. Almost none of them do this. The only cases are what we describe in post #4. So what is the purpose of post #5. Obviously the answer is Rithmic does not provide this.
