1. This particular study is very sensitive to differences under certain conditions. It would be good if your mentor does not use this study because this kind of problem is inevitable. They should instead use Cumulative Delta Bars-Volume.

We cannot precisely explain why you see the differences because we have no 100% confirmation as to the settings the mentor is using.

The reasons for this problem are described in this section here:

Do they have Sierra Chart set for a tick by tick data configuration? If not, then this problem is 100% guaranteed to occur. Also if the precise starting date and time is different between the two charts, there will be differences.

2. The data feed will not matter. So there is no recommendation here. This can occur with any data feed. However, we are not aware of a problem as long as the starting date-time in the chart is consistent and there is a tick by tick data configuration.
