Volume help

I need help to understand why volume is off. I can understand how
delta could be, but how could volume? (Speaking of ES contract)

I use Infinity for volume and my Sierra charts never matches with what
others have.

The other day for example my DOM showed 37 contracts.
Sierra only showed 16.
Others using Infinity with IRT had 70.
I get package 5 with Sierra and use Numbers bars and Volume profiles.
My volume is always way off compared to others. (light)

Is there something I could do to rectify this? I was considering
using Sierra data but if the charts are the problem why bother?

Please help.

Charts all had 16

You definitely will not have this problem using the Sierra Chart Real-time and Historical Exchange Data Feed.

The other question is whether you are comparing volume for the same time period.


Make sure you have a tick by tick data configuration:

Refer to help topic 43 here:
Http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/helpdetails43.html

Set the chart bars to 1 hour per bar. Let us know what time zone you have set Sierra Chart to. Add the Volume study to the chart and tell us what the volume for a bar is and the starting time of that bar.
