How to interpret "Count" & "Volume" in historical data?


 

Sorry, I'm new with IB API. Recently started experimenting with historical bar data via??with?whatToShow =?"Trades". It returns prices as expected, but the volumes and trade counts are really weird. E.g. hourly volumes for AAPL are somewhere between 20k-100k for SMART exchange and even lower for NYSE/AMEX/etc - order of magnitude lower than the real data. For other symbols like IBM hourly volume could be in less than 1k. What am I missing here??
