Summary

Fix incorrect price scaling for OHLCV bars. Databento returns prices as fixed-point integers scaled by 10^9, but they were being parsed as raw decimals (resulting in prices like 6707750000000 instead of 6707.75).

Changes

  • Change OHLCV fields from decimal to long (OpenRaw, HighRaw, LowRaw, CloseRaw)
  • Apply PriceScaleFactor (1e-9) to convert to actual prices
  • Volume remains as long (not scaled)

Test plan

  • Verified ES futures history returns correct prices (~6707.75 for Oct 2025)

Volume needs to be decimal for fractional shares
