Missing Minute Bars

[Karado58]

Hello,

Not a huge issue, but a little annoying and weird.

On my 1 minute bars (2 days time frame), as they are building, they will disappear and appear prior to finishing. Sometimes they will disappear permanently as in my included attachments.

Thanks.

I had to look at your previous posts. You are using TDA. Please mention this next time.

Anyways, I managed to figure out what day your chart was and the times.

I matched this up with TDA's strategy desk. I can only account for 1 of your missing bars. The one at 1:00pm has no volume.

The one at 2:29 is definitely missing in NT on 12,000+volume.


Can you put a volume indicator on your chart, to see if NT put it in the next or previous bars by chance?

Will the missing bars fill in if you create a new chart, or do you get those BACKFILL errors?

Hi sledge,

Sorry, I should of specified my data source....it's not TDA, it's Interactive Brokers.

Below is a 1 minute chart from both. As you can see, the volume bar is there for each of the disappearing minute bars.

Disappearing after the fact is not too big a deal, BUT it is as the bar is forming. While the bar is being created, it just vanishes, and unless I look at the price, I have no idea at what level it is!

Thanks.

Help...............missing minute bars!!!

This is my SECOND request for help...I paid for a LIFETIME license, and the least you can do is actually make a slight effort to help me!!!

I am using Interactive Brokers as my data provider.

I have included screen shots from a i minute bar for BAC morning session.

I get past missing 1 minute bars, and I also experience the bars disappearing as they are forming!!

It looks like these missing candles may be break-even candles? Did you set your "Outline" color for the candles to "transparent"?

If you use any other instrument do you have this same behavior or is it only on the BAC?

Please see Att. below:

Once again I apologize for being wrong!!

Karado,

I am happy you have resolved your issue. Please ignore my previous message in this thread (unless of course you need anything else as I'd be happy to look into other items).

No need to be sorry, actually I didn't think about it being an indicator immediately, just the candle color in your dataseries menu.
