Nand, Rick,

As for the trade size: 
if you are using TICK mode the VOLUME of each tick equals trade size.
So in fact trade size is available (but only in tick mode).
Please note that using tick more produces HUGE amounts of data
(several megabytes per day per symbol).

if you are using bar mode (5-sec, 15-sec, n-tick, n-minute)
the bar volume is a sum of Trade sizes that occurred during given
period.

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
