Problem w/ volume bars

[nhorob]

I'm relatively new to the futures markets and NT in general and I'm have trouble w/ NT's constant volume bars. I have my chart set up to display 10,000 volume bars and there are only 33 bars shown for today implying that 330,000 contracts traded today (instrument: ES 03-08). According to the CME, the ES traded more than 1,800,000 contracts today. What am I missing here?? Thanks in advance!!

Please check your chart's session start and end time. Double click on the chart to bring up the properties menu.

Last Thur was roll over thus the ES is 6-08.

Below is data from the CME website. I thought the ES 03-08 corresponded to ES M8 from below (2.7mm not 1.8mm as stated before). Am I wrong??
