Recording Market Depth Data with Sierra Chart Real-Time Feed

I'm using Sierra Chart Real-Time feed and executing trades with Interactive Brokers.

When using this setup, I collect Market Depth data during the day (set at Symbol settings).
The MarketDepth folder contains the saved depth files named using the IB symbol format.

When I compare the created depth files of an entire session of the same instrument there is a significant size difference between what is recorded by this IB/SC instance vs what I recorded from CQG feed. The CQG files are more than twice as large.

Can you please advise/confirm that I do depth recording the right way?
When using a recorded IB/SC datafile for replay, it seems correct, but I want to be sure that I record the depth data from the SC Real-Time data source and not from IB.

Thank you.

There is no wrong way to do this.

To ensure the market depth data is actually coming from the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed, refer to:
