Hi All,

I have connected my app through DTC to SierraChat to monitor BTCUSD on Bitfinex.
The bid and ask quantities look fine except if the message type is MarketDataUpdateBidAskCompact.
Normally the bids and offers are usually between 0-10, but every time I get MarketDataUpdateBidAskCompact, the bid and offer quantity is above 10K.
Here is example of the raw JSON string I recieved:
{\Type\":117,\"SymbolID\":1,\"BidPrice\":41686,\"BidQuantity\":142238,\"AskPrice\":41687,\"AskQuantity\":145271,\"DateTime\":1627819824}"

There is no way that the bid quantity is 142238 in that market.
Could you please fix it?

For this exchange, all quantity values are multiplied by 10,000 because Sierra Chart only supports integers for these quantities.

Here a a comparison of the depth from the Bitfinex website. Are you sure that it is always multiplied?
