TT vs CQG Bid Ask volume issue

Hello Sierra team,

I am comparing the volume prints for S&P500 futures on my TT Sierra instance with the Sierra CQG instance.

There seems to be a bug or a data feed issue, where Ask volume is counted as Bid volume or vice versa in the "Current Traded Bid Volume".

I cleared the Current Traded Bid (ASk) Volume column simultaneously and after a while took a screenshot of both DOMs.

Small differences are normal, but I hope you see the major discrepancies.

I dont know if CQG or TT is the culprit.

CQG seems to show fewer big Volume blocks (>100) in the T&S than TT.
CQG probably slices the Volume differently to TT.
I dont know if this is relevant for the above issue - it should not make a difference for the Sum in the Current Ask or Bid column.

I hope my screenshots explain the issue.

(the same test for BUND/eurex revealed no differences between TT and CQG data feed)

TY

The same can be seen on the Times and Sales windows:

Some Ask volume is reported as Bid volume - sometimes.

Bid Volume and Ask Volume are inaccurate when using TT. That is well-known and it has no solution.
