I've spent the best part of three hours now scanning threads in this forum trying to find an explanation as to why I can't have a simple daily chart displayed correctly for forex pairs.
In my case, a bar is missing, with the result that I see one bar for Aug 13 and the next is dated Aug 17 with a corresponding jump up or down in price (no sign of Aug 14 at all, even though it shows OK on every interval less than 1 day.) I've tried reloading historical data, disconnecting and reconnecting feeds. I've even reinstalled NT, but the problem remains.
I've read threads in here where users are finding missing bars or extra bars and are told to use settings like 1440 minutes with certain session start/end times to avoid extra bars appearing on some data feeds, etc., but depending on what time of day you display the 1440m chart, you may or may not be looking at real *daily* data as opposed to bars that are simply 1440 minutes apart.
So far, I've tried with Gain and PFG feeds, and encountered problems with both.
Can you tell me if there is a data feed for NT which is known to work correctly on a daily timeframe for Forex? (Preferably one that offers a free trial period so that I don't have to pay upfront just to check it out and find another feed that fails.)
NT is an excellent platform in many ways, and this seems like such a basic requirement that I'm sure I'm overlooking something, but several of the threads I've seen in the forum suggest waiting for NT7 as a possible solution.
Is this really the only option?
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
David
