Hello,
can you please describe or send to a page (didn't found one) explaining how pulling / stacking dom column works?

When an ask row, has let's say 2000 shares, then shows 2100, I would have expected pulling stacking to show 100, but it shows 2100.

It should show as you expect. It is just the difference in the quantity of orders at that price.

We did see an issue recently with the pulling/stacking for equity symbols that we are still looking into. What is the symbol for the chart where you saw this?

I don't remember the symbol but i'm pretty sure it does it on all _MBO symbols. Look into small priced ones, in the range of $1 - $10

We have now determined that pulling and stacking calculations are definitively inaccurate with _MBO symbols. Do not use this functionality with those symbols. This is not something that we can reasonably resolve.

It is still the case that the Pulling/Stacking for _MBO symbols will not be correct.

This will never change. There is no resolution to this and never will be.

Hi
I understand that the "Pulling Stacking" study is inaccurate for all _MBO symbols. Is this also true for all -NQTV symbols that are using MBO data? Is it also the case that any 3rd party vendor studies using pulling and stacking data with _MBO symbols on SC will also be inaccurate?
Thx

No, the issue with the Pulling/Stacking is only for when using a symbol with the _MBO suffix. If you are looking at a symbol with the -NQTV suffix, then this will be fine.

Is it also the case that any 3rd party vendor studies using pulling and stacking data with _MBO symbols on SC will also be inaccurate?

Third party studies will also be inaccurate with _MBO symbols with regards to the pulling/stacking data.
