Question: Confusion on Volume on KuCoin API #72

Open ppkantorski opened 4 years ago

ppkantorski commented 4 years ago

Trading websites like https://www.tradingview.com/chart/?symbol=BITSTAMP%3ABTCUSD for BTC-USD display volume as integers ranging from typically 0 to 200. However, the kucoin API returns volume as a transaction quantity. I am really confused about how integer volumes are derived.. For instance, say the volume or transaction quantity is 4316.25117053. Now TradingView shows 24 as the volume. It is really similar with /BTC on ThinkOrSwim. How do I convert values like 4316.25117053 to the volume values used on trading platforms?
