I was looking at SPY chart today and noticed that the volume is different depending on the platform being used.
The date and time in question is 1-16-26 at 10:51 am est.
Webull has 5 million volume
Hood has 500k
Tradingview has 81k
Which trading platform is the best/ most accurate?
Mods aren’t allowing me to put ss

😭Your eyes are about to open like they’ve never been opened before. Don’t be upset about it. Just embrace the simplicity of it all.
This my friend is what we call normalized trading data. All brokers must find a way to get you market data. They aren’t all built equal. And they don’t have the same ideas about retail traders. You are not trading on the exchange when you buy and sell with your broker. Your broker is trading on the exchange. They have the choice whether to fill your order from inventory or not. The rabbit hole gets muuuuch deeper.
IBKR, Fidelity, and TV all show volume correctly for me….
