Has there been a change? It looks like quantities are displayed with a factor of 10 compared to previously.

Yes. Someone requested this and we thought it did make sense to be consistent with the quantities actually entered in Sierra Chart.

I agree. But in the case of index CFDs i dont think it makes sense. For example WS30, its like futures without fractional contracts, it now shows 10x more than there are. But its not a big deal.

Either we will keep the change or revert it.

We are inclined to revert it.

If we do not get any more comments about this, we may just keep it though.

There is a reason, why the multiplier 10 is used for order quantities and it needs to be consistent across symbols. We know that it can be confusing, but really LMAX should not be using fractional quantities to begin with. That is really where the core mistake is.

In all of our decades of experience the use of a fractional quantity is just plain dumb.
