CME Denali & Binance Futures — Native Aggressor Side, Volume Accuracy and Order Flow Stud

Hello,

I am currently considering Sierra Chart for trading and professional order flow analysis, and I have a few technical questions regarding data accuracy and exchange-provided aggressor-side information.

I am particularly interested in CME futures via Denali (NQ, MNQ, ES, MES) and Binance Futures (BTCUSDT).

Both exchanges provide native aggressor-side information:

- CME: 5797-AggressorSide
- Binance Futures: m (isBuyerMaker)

Could you please confirm:

1. Does Sierra Chart directly use these exchange-provided fields to identify aggressive buyers and sellers, or does it infer trade direction from Bid/Ask prices or price movements?

2. Is the native aggressor-side information used for both real-time and historical tick-by-tick data?

3. Do Delta, Cumulative Delta Bars (CVD), Numbers Bars (Footprint), and Volume by Price (Volume Profile, including Bid/Ask Volume and Delta) use the actual exchange-provided aggressor side without additional estimation?

4. Regarding Binance volume inaccuracies: In June 2026, Sierra Chart Engineering acknowledged that Binance fractional volumes were multiplied by 10,000 and truncated, causing inaccuracies, and mentioned a planned fix. Has this issue now been fully resolved? If so, in which version, and does the correction apply to both real-time and historical data? Are there any remaining volume losses, aggregation issues, or missing trades affecting Delta, CVD, Footprint, and Volume Profile?

Reference: BTC_USDT_PERP_BINANCE discrepancy in volume reported with binance official feed ?

Please clarify separately for CME/Denali and Binance Futures.

Thank you.
