Post From: Number bars bid/ask data

I’m looking for some clarification around the accuracy of bid/ask data when applied to US equities..

If the smallest tick size is in seconds, then how is accurate bid/ask data calculated when exchanges are providing trades in milliseconds?

I’ve also noticed that when using a numbers bar study - SC vs IQ feed, the bid/ask data is different, eg some trades appear on the bid side in SC and on the ask side using IQ feed, or vise-versa. However they are exactly the same when using any CME product( I assume this is because the CME reports trades in seconds)
