Today eSignal showed a volume of about 100000 contracts for the first 15 minutes of trading, a bit unusual.
I use several charts, one of them a 30000V chart, and this one does not confirm the volume reported in the quote window or in the other charts.
I made the screenshot later, but it looks like the quote window shows about 50000 contracts which did not trade. About the double of what might have been traded in the first 15 minutes. Total volume (up the time the screenshot was made) should be about 150000 contracts.
Anyone else having this problem?
Many Thanks

Forget it. Just found the reason: a single block of more than 50000 contracts traded in the first 15 minutes. Due to the way volume charts work, this leads to the kind of inconsistencies I have described.
