How accurate are TV volume data?

OANDA:XAUUSD   Gold Spot / U.S. Dollar
Question for the more informed: how accurate is the volume profile(by price) and volume (by time) on Tradingview charts? (that's without purchasing extra data).

It seems to me, thus far, that it is simply calculated off the candlesticks cause candlesticks alone can show volume buy their size alone.

I heard before that data for FX, gold and oil are all not very "real" or accurate and have been trying to find out, so I've decided to reach out to the community and see what others know and are saying. Do you know where data like this is available and accurate?

Thank you in advance!
