x1706 zipper + missing candles

[ckelly]

Jay,

Thanks for all continued efforts to work out the bugs.

Note x1706 has reverted to the "zipper" effect on the intraday charts as well as missing candles on the larger ones.

See pic.

Hey CK,

I was able to reproduce your chart just now by simulating a "first run" environment.

After exit/restart, all those missing candles no longer manifest....yes?

LAM -
Most missing candles did indeed fill in after reboot. However, there's still a few missing.

CK,

What's you're seeing now isn't the "first run" issue.
That had to do with certain files not being initialized during first run only.
This has been an intermittent thingy that hits some, but not all folks.
This first run phenomena is under investigation by development.

Now, to the most recent post regarding BEN.
You can get all the bars if you run MMB=Accurate.
Your chart was MMB=Fast
See screenshot.

but...but...BEN having missing bars, but not IBM for example, for an RTH chart, even if MMB=Fast, isn't right.
As long as there were trades in the time-frame of the 2nd bar in a day for a RTH 233 chart, bar 2 of the day should be there for ALL syms, and not dropped/missing on a random few, unless I'm missing something pretty basic regarding the differences in Accurate vs Fast processing.

I've made a note to investigate this further.

Larry,
Agree - once past the re-boot on new version, the zipper pretty much went away. However, the random afternoon candle missing is still there and lingers from prior versions.

Another example (BWA) is attached. Note the 60' chart paints 4 afternoon candles where the 233' is empty. BWA's avg vol is 2.4M; 1.3M shown for the morning 233' candle - the rest of the volume is not accounted for.

Thanks for investigating.

Carol,

It looks to me like those bars in your screenshot aren't done using the Multi-minute Bars in accurate mode. That could cause the discrepancy you are referring to.

Jay,
Right you are - I was confirming LAM's note - and also, the randomness of the missing afternoon candle. It does NOT occur on all symbols and it does occurs randomly - not every afternoon candle is missing for the symbols that have missing candles. So, just a comment on the bug.

Thanks for all your efforts.
