I've noticed that many times throughout the day, the SierraChart DOM will process an order as a buy order, but on other platforms it comes through as a sell order (and vice versa)
Like today for example, in FGBL the SierraChart DOM was telling me that 182 contracts were bought at 166.18, whereas when I checked the Jigsaw DOM and S5 Trader they were telling me 182 contracts were just SOLD.
Which platform do I trust? Will switching to a new data feed fix the problem or will it make no difference?
I don't fully understand what you mean by "it's all about how you interpret the data."
If the SierraChart DOM is telling my 200 just bought at market and the Jigsaw DOM is telling me 200 just sold at market, isn't that completely opposite information, regardless of how I interpret it?
Does that mean switching to a different data feed will fix the issue?
No - the data is fine - S5 is fine, Jigsaw is fine.
Like I said - the tickstream isn't a time and sales, so on the software side the vendor has to do certain things to make sure it prints on the right side. Not all vendors do it.
