Question Regarding ImbalanceData Fields in Quote Board and ACSIL

Hello Sierra Chart Support,

I am trying to access auction imbalance data (Opening Cross / Closing Cross) through both the Quote Board and ACSIL.

Environment:

* Sierra Chart - Version 2913 64 bit.
* Denali Data Feed
* Nasdaq TotalView (NQTV symbols)
* Teton Order Routing

ACSIL functions being used:

------
s_SCBasicSymbolData Data;
sc.GetBasicSymbolData(Symbol, Data, true);

auto& Imb = Data.m_ImbalanceData;
------

I am reading the following fields:


Imb.DateTimeUTC
Imb.MatchingQuantity
Imb.NonMatchingQuantity
Imb.CurrentReferencePrice
Imb.ImbalanceDirection
Imb.CrossType
```

According to the ACSIL documentation and SCSymbolData.h, these fields appear to support imbalance data.

To verify the data independently, I also created a Quote Board and added the following columns:

* ImbalanceDateTime
* ImbalanceMatchQty
* ImbalanceNoMatchQty
* ImbalanceRefPrice
* ImbalanceDirection
* ImbalanceCrossType

I tested both methods and found that all imbalance-related fields remain blank or zero.

Questions:

1. With Denali + Nasdaq TotalView, should the imbalance fields in Quote Board populate for symbols such as:

* AAPL-NQTV
* QQQ-NQTV
* SPY-NQTV
* JPM-NQTV

during the Nasdaq Opening Cross and Closing Cross periods?

2. Should s_SCBasicSymbolData::m_ImbalanceData be populated through sc.GetBasicSymbolData() for those symbols?

3. Is any additional market data entitlement or exchange service required to receive NOII / auction imbalance data?

4. If these fields are not supported through Denali/NQTV, what is the recommended method to access Nasdaq opening and closing auction imbalance information from ACSIL?

Thank you for your help.

Regards,

Ram Kumar
