Re: MC 12 -- Abnormal Charts (ASCII database)
I just re-installed MC11 again. However, some charts still show duplicated bars. It is so strange and I never notice this issue before. PS. I think I find the root cause for duplicated bars. It is because the session is not set correctly. My daily charts don't have duplicate bars. If you want to go ...

Re: KSE K200 June contract: No Data after 24/3/2017 [SOLVED]
Hi there,
I just find the root cause.
The symbol (017M) multiplier is changed. So IB API just doesn't recognize the symbol with incorrect multiplier.

Yes, that's correct. And if any ticks are missing, then MultiCharts will backfill the data on the chart, and that historical data is then also saved in the database.
