Post From: Differences in VbP

There is no difference. I'd expect this since the VbP would only differ if the time unit considered were smaller than 1 minute, which is not the case. As I see it, it makes no difference if you add up VbP over a period of days based on intraday data records containing tick data vs. minute data, as long as the period is a multiple of minutes. Note that the file size for 6EH4.scid was 44.676 Kb for tick data vs. 728 Kb for minute data so the delete and download data did actually take place. Please correct me if I'm seeing it wrong.
There must be a difference. There is 0% chance they would be the same. We understand exactly how this works and there will be a difference for sure. In our own test we have proved that. Since we do not know exactly what you have done in your test, we cannot comment on your results.




Most definitely not: they are the same. 100%
Look at the top line of the chart images you have given in post #1. You can clearly see that the input settings for each of the Volume by Price studies are different. If those input settings we are seeing are for another volume profile that we cannot see, then you have overly complicated the image and have confused things. This is what causes such a problem for us.
