I'm thinking about to change my software from Volfix to SC. I started a comparison about how does SC display the volume/minute chart in compare to volfix. Its nearly the same, but some values are not equal. I marked it in the attached screenshot. I trust Volfix, because its made for volume trading. SC has much more possibilities, but I wonder why it calculate the volume diffently. Is it some ajustment?

Just make sure Sierra Chart is set to a tick by tick data configuration:

Tick by Tick Data Configuration


If you still notice any differences it would be because the other program is not accurate. We can say with overwhelming certainty. But you need to use the Sierra Chart Historical Data Service or the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed for accurate data.

With a tick by tick configuration, what you see in Sierra Chart is definitively correct. This volume fix is just simply wrong. If you want to have faith in something wrong you can go ahead and do that but they are just flat out wrong. That is just so overwhelmingly clear.
