Possible live volume overcounting with

Hello Sierra Chart Support,

I am experiencing what appears to be a real-time volume calculation issue when using "Combine Trades with Same Price and Type (Bid/Ask)".

On an ES Range Bar chart with Numbers Bars, I observed the following:

- Before Reload and Recalculate: Volume 12,763 / Delta +233
- After Reload and Recalculate: Volume 1,854 / Delta +2

The previously completed bars appeared unchanged.

I also experienced a similar issue with the Large Volume Trade Indicator, where markers disappear or their quantities change after reloading.

**Additional observations:**
- Intraday Data Storage Time Unit: 1 Tick
- Split Data Records: Yes
- During approximately 5–10 minutes of live observation, the discrepancy appeared to occur only with "Combine Trades with Same Price and Type".
- "Combine Trades into Original Summary Trade" did not appear to have the same issue during this test.
- In a previous investigation, the stored SCID data appeared correct, while the live chart calculations were inconsistent.

I found a potentially related report:
Reload and Recalculate make some Large Volume Trade markers dissapear

I understand that this was previously tested using Replay, but I suspect the issue may be specific to live data processing and therefore might not reproduce during Replay.

I have a 20-second screen recording clearly showing the Volume and Delta changing after Reload and Recalculate. I can provide it if requested.

Could you investigate whether this combining method behaves differently during live updates compared to recalculation from stored data?

Thank you.
