In my workspace I select New->Chart and enter "M6E 06-20" with a 50-tick bar. I get something like the attached picture.
There was not a sudden jump in price two bars back; what is happening is that the chart is incorrectly showing old data from the *03-20* contract, the previous month. The chart trader is showing the correct bid/ask which matches the most current bars. If I bring up the 03-20 chart, it matches the older data. Also, even stranger, if I right-click and hit "Reload All Historical Data" the chart refreshes to match the 03-20 contract and then the price jumps up when a new tick hits. The data appears correct going forth from the point where the chart is created/refreshed but is wrong in the past.
I've experimented with deleting cache and DB files that reference these contract months, but nothing works. The chart is still incorrect, and the cache files immediately recreate themselves. In particular I have seen the "M6E 03-20" directory reappear when I've only loaded the *06-20* chart, which supports the idea that somehow the wrong month is being loaded.
