Hi,

I recently noticed an apparent error in one of my programs that uses the .scid files when looking at the an options symbol. After investigating I noticed that there are "0" values in the TotalVolume field for many records. An example symbol is "LON23 C7500.FUT_OPT.NYMEX" for today, 2023-05-31.

Is this what you see? I do not see this in records for underlying futures contracts. My expectation is that each record represents a trade with nonzero volume.

Note that I have everything configured for tick-level storage and the futures contracts work fine.

The file also includes normal records that have a non-zero TotalVolume, matching either the BidVolume or AskVolume, as expected. But for some reason there are many records like the ones above, as well.
