BTC China says they do not have a streaming data feed. We do not see how we can make it significantly faster.


We can see that Bitstamp does use pusher.com. It would take some reverse engineering to determine exactly how to work with that. We will look at that later on.

Most likely the reason for the lower volume compared to other charts is that volumes are held in Sierra Chart as integers. So we take the floating-point volume and multiply it 10,000. 10,000 was chosen when Bitcoin was around 100 USD. After this the digits remaining to the right of the decimal point have to be dropped because it is assigned into an integer.

A quick look of the images you provided, does not indicate a significant volume difference. Provide specific values for a particular day. Keep in mind there may be some days earlier in the month of November 2013, approximately, which are less because Bitstamp had problems with their data feed and made changes which caused some loss of data.
