So I have one chart window open set to 60min bars showing 12 days of data, without any indicators, only the Chart Trader showing, connecting to Interactive Brokers for live feed and account and IQFeed for historical data.
At some point in the last 3 hours from the date of this message up to the New York close when IB shuts its daily forex operation for 15 mins, the chart hit a major glitch.
When I first looked at the chart I didn't check it because I immediately switched to the instrument I wanted to see and I saw the data from Friday 00:00:00 was missing.
Attached is what I can see now.
I assume that reloading the historical data will fix the problem but it has affected all 20 instruments in my default list, so that's a lot of clicking, plus it has ruined my collection of live-streamed tick data, because what will be downloaded from IB now is not what is live-streamed, it is a sampled version and is distinctly different, giving my backtesting different results.
I searched through the logs and the trace file for any relevant logging but found nothing.
I suspect actually that it happened at exactly the point when IB turn off their live streaming (22:00 GMT+0)
