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!!

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??
