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)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.Screenshot attached)
Can you help answer these questions

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."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?

In the case of data from S5 - it's got a tickstream and there's a knack in getting the side right.

Does that mean switching to a different data feed will fix the issue?
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.

@
slickiam
This is very interesting. But from what I understand, this only applies to people using
SierraChart 's own data feed.
I'm using GAIN Capital for my data feed, and noticing different results depending on which
DOM I watch, whether SierraChart's DOM or Jigsaw's DOM

Just an update for anyone experience the same problem, the reply from
SierraChart support was:
"For accuracy you need to use the
Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed"
CQG data. It's about the best there is.
