Skip bars on chat drawing

[muisca]

Some times with Google or Yahoo data free provider, NinjaTrader gets invalid day data with volume value in 0. How I can skip that bar and avoid bar draw on chart by code. I know that I can mark data on historical windows as exclude, but I need do this using code.

Hello,

Generally rather than trying to handle this in code it would be best to not get the zero at all as data. This can be accomplished using the bad tick filter in the Tools -> Options -> Market Data tab. The option is called "Filter bad ticks" and has a property below it for the % off market to look for.

In code a zero bar would be reported as zero and could be handled by checking if the bars price is zero. This would still result in having the zero bar though.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Thanks, but in those market data price is not spike as this function looking for. On those data wrong value is value equal 0. So is there another way to filter this readings?

Hello,

Thanks for posting.

The Filter Bad Ticks feature should also apply to Volume. Since 0 would be far away from an expected value, the filter should still work as expected. What setting was entered for Filter Bad Ticks when you see this behavior?
