When I look at a chart of some of the major US indices (eg. NASDAQ Composite - $COMP) I see negative volume. How do I fix this?

TradeGuider uses a internal data structure for volume that has an upper limit on it. The volume on indices such as the NASDAQ composite exceeds this limit and TradeGuider unfortunately displays negative numbers when the limit is exceeded.

This problem exists in TradeGuider version 2.5.3 - it is not known whether it affects other versions of this software.

A workaround exists for this issue - click Edit -> Display Factors. In the Volume - Set Multiplication Factor put in a Factor of -4. This will multiple all of your volumes by 0.0001 (so your securities display in multiples of 10,000).
