I observed an abnormal phenomenon when I was using my friend's sc account to watch the number bars of HSI futures data. I was using standard range bars (4) and you could see that in the circle there was a sudden huge volume of 619 contracts transacted at the ask side, however, the price does not move a bit. May I ask is it the data source issue / related to the method of calculating the tick data? Thank you very much for your explanation.

But may I ask does the bid/ask volume data directly got from the exchange or are they being calculated using some estimation methods?

Understood,just to make it clear. SC got CME,GLX,CBOT,Nymex and COMEX bid volume and ask volume directly from exchange but others might base on some estimation method?
