Post From: Missing intraday stock data using SC Exchange Data Feed with real time U.S. Equities

Dear Sierra Chart,

Are you saying that you will not support inclusion of odd lot trades in your real-time stock data feed? I'm pretty sure this is not acceptable to a daytrader/scalper like me, especially if this means that charts on your platform are not going to match what the majority of other daytraders/scalpers are seeing on their platforms. Please refer to the screenshots I provided earlier to see what others are seeing.

As far as IQ Feed filtering out odd lots, I think that is highly unlikely since they advertise themselves as providing unfiltered tick data. I looked into this briefly and it seems that their historical one minute bars do not include odd lot trades, but I'm pretty sure they are included in the real-time data since it's unfiltered. I will sign up for their data feed and report my results here for others.

Ideally all the data coming in would be unfiltered and your platform would provide a mechanism for the user to specify what type of filtering they want, if any. That's how I would code it up.
