Post From: Wrong volume with global data feeds (India)

We have had a look at the charts now. Here are two charts:

According to Global Data feeds, the quantities of trades are now in "lots". So this is the unit. It appears that a lot is equivalent to 100.

As of January 31, you can see that the volume for an entire day in the Intraday chart is equivalent to the volume for the same day in the Daily chart. So there is a consistency now.

Previous to January 31, the volumes are multiplied by 100 in the Intraday chart because Global Data Feeds did not perform any adjustment on the historical Intraday data. Although you can easily do that in Sierra Chart through Edit >> Adjust Data. Here is the documentation:

So knowing that the volumes are in "lots", is this still a problem? And if so why?
