Connecting, but lots of gaps and poor data using BarChart

[TONY25]

Hello,

I wonder if someone could help?

Data seems good for YM (Dow Jones), but nonsense for ES (S&P).

Typically the 1-minute bars are 5-minutes apart, the high of the day is different to the correct high of the day in the control panel. If I load up the platform later in the day the 30-minute bars are different to when I was actually trading them earlier!

Hello Tony,

If you right click in the chart and select Reload Historical Data, does it fill your gaps?

I tested the ES 09-08 on my end while connected to BarChart (see screenshot) and displayed data as expected. Please check if your chart displays the same.

Hi Jason,

Apologies for the poor quality of the screenshot, but you can see that the number of bars in the 1-minute chart roughly seems to correspond to the number of 5-minute bars which should be in the interval.

i.e 5 bars rather than 25

I have same issue. All historical tick data consolidated by 5 min intervals. Real-time is OK.

GE market has no depth (1st level).

Main issue - NT disconnects every 60 sec and reconnects again. Very irritating.

I had Barchart subscription few weeks ago and it was working perfectly. Not sure what has happened in betwen.

Also I caught exception in chart window (not sure if relates to the depth issue):

On exception below:
- please make sure you are on latest 6.5.1000.5
- could you please provide exact steps to reproduce? Thanks

[maxima]

Yes I have the latest.
And No - I cant reproduce it. Strategy tried to send orders but they went into loads of mess with cancelling etc (I am sure it is related to missing depth data - as same strategy worked OK in backtest) and then I clicked on 'Strategies' icon in chart window and then OK (to refresh strategy) and then the exception happened.

I disabled placing orders in code now and am watching just graphical part of the strategy hence no more exceptions.

Thanks for clarification

>> and then OK (to refresh strategy)
This step could produce exception call stack below. Please let us know as you have a scenario to tarce this down further. Thanks
