Post From: Crypto perpetual futures contract size and position bug

Hi, I wanted to report the bugs explained below. The tickers I tried are for Binance. 1) For the inverse perpetual futures (BTC-margined, position size measured in contracts) it multiplies every contract by 10K. 2) For the regular perpetual futures (USD-T margined, position size measured in crypto) it multiplies every crypto quantity bought/sold by 10K. The numbers appear this way both on the Sold/Bot columns of the DOM and on the Time & Sales, giving your wrong impression of what is being bought and sold. 3) The previous bugs inevitably affect the volume, since wrong quantities are being counted. However, there is a way to display the correct volume, by changing the Volume Value Format from 1 to 0,0001 at Chart Settings. But this comes at a cost for the inverse perpetual futures where volume should be a positive integer (multiple of contracts) but you end up with 4 annoying decimal places instead. For all of the above problems I attached screenshots. -At the BTC screenshot, you can see the problem with the decimal places after the Chart Settings tweak. The Sold/Bot columns are still displaying wrong numbers (for example at the first row it should be 7 contracts sold and 745 contracts bought instead of 70K and 7.45M). -At the DOT screenshot, the same problem of multiplying by 10K also exists, but this time I did not tweak Chart settings to fix the volume. I just sent it to show you an extra bug at the Bids/Offers columns (white gigantic numbers). Not viewing the right data is a major problem and I cannot upgrade from trial to paid if this is not fixed. But frankly, it seems like this problem can be fixed by simply changing a variable value, so hopefully it can be done easily and quickly and then I'll upgrade. Thanks! |
