QTY for comodity future

gautam_s60

In quote or market depth bid or offer QTY values are LOT or total QTY?
I.e. for CRUDE FUTURE QTY1 stands to 1LOT or I hv to consider 100QTY for 1LOT?

Hi Gautam, 1 represents a single lot. So for Crude, 1=1 lot, 100 = 100 lots.

ok, so for placing order I have to pass 100EA for 1Lot which will convert to 1lot in depth.......
why there is difference in order quantity and depth quantity?
just for curiosity.. asking

Hi @gautam_s60 for buying 1 lot of crude, you have to pass 1, not 100.

Our OMS uses lots (1 = 1 lot) for all commodities, but the depth data comes directly from the exchange. An unfortunate lack of consistency

gautam_s60

than why it isnot accepting 1qty!
