What is the basis for merging volumes?

I think it's in micrometers, is there a micrometer range? Or are there any other standards? Are the standards different for each exchange?

If you are referring to the way trades are merged into one in the list, its based on milliseconds. Most exchanges don't provide micro precision. So once a trade is received, it becomes a bucket. For every trades that come with the same exchange, side and same time (ms), its being added to the bucket (simple sum for vol, volume weighed average for bucket price). If a trade come from same exchange but different side or time > bucket time, bucket is released and dispatched to the list... Sometime no trades come to release it on time, and bucket is released by timeout (bucket time + 50ms). Same for all exchanges, no obscure trickery here 😄
