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 :)
