Post From: Market Statistics - UVOL/DVOL

I am trying to leverage the UVOL/DVOL Market Statistics but having difficulties reconciling the data.

The statistics are very different from other data providers. I have attached an image of the discrepancy from today.

What the image show is:
TradingView: UVOL 436,222,948 DVOL 284,919,713
ThinkorSwim: $UVOL 434,657 DVOL 287,699
SierraChart: UVOL-NYSE 2,480,453 DVOL-NYSE 1,109,014
SierraChart: UVOL24H-NYSE 2,508,210 DVOL-NYSE 1,112,430

As shown, the TradingView and ThinkorSwim (1000's) stats are statistically similar.

The SC stat is significantly different:

If, as the documentation states, the stat is in thousands, UVOL/DVOL are significantly larger than the TV & TOS platforms
TV:   436,222,948   284,919,713
SC:  2,480,453,000  1,109,014,000
Diff:    569%   389%

If the UVOL/DVOL are actually are in hundreds the numbers are smaller than the TV & TOS platforms
TV: 436,222,948    284,919,713
SC: 248,045,300    110,901,400
Diff: -76%     -157%

Either way the differences are statistically significant and I am struggling to reconcile the stats to utilize them.

I thought perhaps I needed to use the UVOL24H/DVOL25H stats but they do not improve the discrepancy either in the thousands or hundreds.
SC: 2,508,210 1,129,430

In todays stats, the morning session had down volume higher on the TV & TOS platforms but lower on SC.

Would you help me understand discrepancy so I could leverage the UVOL/DVOL? Using UVOL/DVOL in formulas produces different results from other platforms.

Thank you.
