Post From: SC Real-time vs. IQ Feed huge difference

I have been having some SPY real-time bid/ask issues on a Numbers chart that didn't "make sense." Today I compared IQFeed data for SPY with SierraChart Real-time data. Attached are 4 charts showing the difference. I'm suspicious that the IQ Feed version is correct, but I don't know how to prove it. I'm not even sure you would care. But here is info, FWIW. All of this revolves around a huge "adjustment" trade at 1600 today (which happens every day).
I've attached 6 snips to document this.
Note in IQ1S (IQ Feed 1-second) and SC1S (SierraChart 1-second), OHLCV are identical, but note that Bid and Ask are approximately reversed.
Note IQ1T (1-trade) has a single trade with volume of 1,250,831. Note how that trade is "spread out" in SC1T.
Note that IQ1M_Numbers (1-minute) shows a very different VolumeAtPrice picture than SC1M_Numbers.

By the way, I know the huge trade at 1600 every day may not be "important." But what led me to this was some significant VaP differences at 9:30 to 10:00 yesterday when we had a high-volume down market. Those are much harder to document.

Both have DTS set to 1-Tick storage. I deleted the SC SPY.scid file and re-downloaded to be sure that wasn't the issue.

Thank you,
