Thanks for your reply. Yes, most equities are X100, but not all. BRK-B (Berkshire Hathaway), for example, is X10.

Hi, I am reading volume data from the API, but there is a multiplier that needs to be applied to get the actual volume. Different instruments seem to require different multipliers. Anyone know how to get that? Can it be done through the API, or do you have to read it manually from somewhere?

I am using a feed with API from one of the dealer room data providers. It costs me about $400 per month right now, but I got it in a non-standard way. Now they want to increase the fee I pay, to somewhere around $1000 per month, which I wouldn't be able to afford. The sales guy tells me they...

Another possibility is that you have found a really good arbing opportunity :)

One reason percent changes on different exchanges may vary is a change in the exchange rate. Post the exchange rates that were current at the time of the trades and let's see if this makes the difference. q
