I am doing some research and notice that the volume data in QuantConnect is not always consistent with other sources I can see.
For example, AA has a daily volume of 31.781M on Dec 17, 2021 as I see from both TradingView and my broker data. However, the QuantConnect historical data shows 10,192,510. The difference is quite large.
My questions are:
- What's the reason behind the difference in volume
- Anything I can do in QC to make the volume matches up to other sources?
