Build 1205, but it has existed for a couple months at least, just been too lazy to report it.
It seems clear from my point of view the high/low markers are driven by the broker feed instead of the data feed. You are saying this isn't the case? I make this determination simply because the profile data is always correct (IQFeed source), and the high/low gets reset when the IB connection is interrupted.
On a side note, when I added the VWAP to the DOM, the values are off a little. I am guessing it might be using IB broker feed for values, and since it's snapshotted data that is why it's off a few ticks. I would rather the DOM use the data feed for data with it using the broker feed for fills only.
It relates to whether Sierra Chart is run with administrator level access or not.
We are quite confident the volume at price data is coming from IQ Feed especially if that is the main symbol of the Trade DOM. To confirm that , simply add a Volume by Price study to a chart of the same symbol in the instance connected IQ Feed. You will need to make sure the Volume by Price study settings match.
The VbP data on DOM is accurate. Never thought otherwise.
UAC is disabled on my system. Everything is run as administrator rights.
The issue is the high/low markers which do not match the days source of IQFeed and can be reset at will by restarting Sierra or by an unintended drop with IB connectivity.
Checked both instances of Sierra, both are running as the user (me) not as administrator.
I want to make sure I've adequately explained the problem. The issue is not with the volume by price data or the price data from IQFeed (instance 1, c:\sierra chart). The issue is with high/low markers of instance 2, which is connected to IB. The high/low markers change immediately upon relaunching Sierra Chart, or upon a disconnect of TWS/IB Gateway.
When I say "change", I mean that they reset to the current 'last' price in the market, and then they will expand with time. It appears the broker feed is driving them and not the data feed (instance 1).
OK, I will try this right now. I assume if it works, the second instance (DOM only) should have proper HOD/LOD markers that match the profile. Let's see.
