SC Team - So far under impression that there is no difference between delayed & live feeds except delayed is around 10 minutes delayed.

Noticing the number of trades for a daily bar built with intraday data (1440 minutes) - differs in the number of trades between live & delayed(All the other parameters being the same - timezone / Session timings.

For example (# of trades) - 4/15/20 - Live vs Delayed
NQ: 366733 vs 366740
YM: 167206 vs 167215
ES: 1105826 vs 1105842

Any logical reason for this? If we do expect very subtle differences between the live/delayed feeds - it's OK as long as it is expected. But based on your description about delayed feed - it's same as live feed except for the delay - wondering about the reason for the discrepancies(very subtle though).

Thanks

We are aware of these minor discrepancies. This is an issue when connecting to the data feed, and it relates to not having true millisecond time stamping on trades, along with a sub trade identifier when there is the same millisecond.

So we are fully aware of this. It will get resolved over the next couple of months.

SC Team - FYI - I had the live feed in one session and the delayed feed in one session ( both of them were connected over the weekend and no disconnects in between). The discrepancy is still there. Just thought of sharing this information - if it's going to be helpful to you to isolate the "when it is connected" as a non-issue potentially in my case. I noticed subtle differences today as well - when the connection was made 3 days ago - with no interruptions. Just an FYI.

thanks
