Apparently it depends on your data provider and whether they reduce the vol
to save storage, etc. With Reuters, they transmit the volume by a factor of
100 less than it actually it is. It seems the MS Downloader should be able
to correct this according to the data provider. I just built a new indicator
VR [volume real] to use in all my formulas and charts now.
I am going to write MS about this.

Neo,
Not sure if I am missing your point but I have used data feed which supplies
volume in units and these unit volumes seem to show correctly in Downloader
Data Edit Window and also on Charts when cursor hovers over volume bar.
What I have noticed, and logged some time ago with Equis support, is that on
large volumes, indeed for any plotted indicator with large value (> 99
million on my system), the Data Window Panel will truncate high order digits
when it displays the value and gives no indication that it has done so.
Equis reckon this may be related to fonts but I have not heard any further
info. I am using V7.03 but I think previous versions were same.
