Last night I loaded up NT8 and was sure to select 'reload historical data' for the @GER30 chart and then apply my strategies and enable them. On waking this morning I noticed the lack of orders, the same as last week. On closer inspection I noticed the D1 data bar for the day ending 19th October was missing. I use multi-timeframe strategies so have a M1 and D1 data series loaded to the chart and the D1 section is made as small as possible so didn't see that the bar was missing last night.
On performing another 'reload historical data' from the chart options this morning, the D1 candle appeared and the expected orders were submitted.
This only seems to be an issue on @GER30, I have other charts open for forex and gold cfd with FXCM and the D1 bars loaded fine last night. I could be wrong but it seems @GER30 won't load historical data correctly and fully unless the refresh is performed within trading hours. Thats the only difference I see between dax cfd and gold cfd and forex, the latter markets were open last night at the time of refreshing the historical data.
Should there be a problem loading historical data this way when out of market hours? If the data doesn't load correctly I'm going to have to try and program a data refresh from within the strategy the first minute of market open on a Monday, which I believe NT doesn't really support.
