How is 1 Tick Bid Bars and 1 Tick Ask bars any different than -BID and -ASK documented here:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_RecordingModes.php

And when the chart bars are set to Number of Trades=1.

Those other programs certainly cannot obtain this data historically. It is not available.

The Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed does store the best bid and ask prices whenever a trade occurs but not in between trades. We know of no data feed that stores this information. We have no interest in storing that information because it takes too much space. It generally would be a detriment to the wider user base.

So we really are not sure what Sierra Chart is missing here compared to the other programs. And would seem a simple matter to make minor changes to do what the other programs are doing once we understand exactly what that is.
