Post From: CQG data fee and Interactive Brokers data feed.

At present I am using CQG data feed for my futures trading. Also I use Interactive Brokers for my options trading.
I would like to use Interactive Brokers only but the problem is on my Market Profile discrepancy.
Example today on CQG market profile last 30 minute 3:00 - 4:00 period on /NQ Nasdaq top trade is 9630 price 205 contracts traded, at same period and time in Interactive Brokers 9630 price 1007 contracts traded.
Another example in /ES S&P 500 same period 3:30 - 4:00 CQG at price 3379.50 3061 contracts traded in IB 9251 contracts.
Also notice a difference at the open tick as well. Even notice some time a tick traded in IB and not in CQG.
In IB always numbers are higher

With IB I have a streaming real time data, NOT snapshot data.
I went threw everything I can get any information to make sure configure it correct.
I did reach out to IB for help, but they don't know. Talk to API team as well they don't know why is the difference.
I can put up with some errors, but contract traded at the top and the bottom is throwing me off. If it was single digit I can live with it but not with 2+ plus digits.
