Author	Topic: day askv + bidv != day volume (4 messages, Page 1 of 1)
nto -Interested User- Posts: 14 Joined: Jan 18, 2016	Posted: Apr 17, 2016 03:32 AM Msg. 1 of 4 I have been counting the number of ASK and BID contracts exchanged on BD# on 15th of April and the sum doesn't match the total day volume. day ASK volume : 221597 day BID volume : 229311 day total volume : 471145 Is it normal? Is IQFeed missing some trades?

This is normal behavior. Tim
nto -Interested User- Posts: 14 Joined: Jan 18, 2016	Posted: Apr 22, 2016 12:32 PM Msg. 3 of 4 So does your answer imply that day ASK volume and day BID volume are computed based on outright transactions only, whereas day total volume includes spread trades and implied trades? If yes, does this also imply that spread trades do not appear on the tick-by-tick time&sales?
DTN_Tim Walter -DTN Guru- Posts: 1238 Joined: Apr 25, 2006	Posted: Apr 22, 2016 12:35 PM Msg. 4 of 4 Correct. And yes, spread trades will not appear on the underlying contract's time and sales. Tim
