Good evening, Forum:
I have a problem with backfilling in my E-Mini S&P500 realtime chart. My datafeed is IB, and I watch the current ES contract. My other charts are all end-of-day generated from ASCII data provided by Premium Data.
My ES realtime chart never stops backfilling, and I have been unable to generate a volume histogram when applying the indicator. I had been able to add the volume study in the past, and it will work with any other EOD chart.
I have deleted both the ES chart and the symbol from Quote Manager and re-added, with no luck.
Your thoughts and guidance are appreciated in advance.

What do you mean by "My ES realtime chart never stops backfilling..."

In the past, when I created my realtime charts, they would backfill, indicated by the "status line", and when done, the status line indicator text would go away. Now, it keeps showing "backfilling...".

Which version MultiCharts you are using?TJ:

Have you applied the IB Updater?
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=49248
MultiCharts backfills because there are newer quotes since the last time you saved data to your computer.
If the previous save was not successful, you will have a big data gap in your database, and MultiCharts must go to the dataprovider and fetch the missing data.
Before you shut down your computer, make sure all the MultiCharts components have exited the TaskManager. Otherwise whatever residing in the cache will be lost and must be downloaded again.

My MC version: MultiCharts64 Version 9.1 Release (Build 11815)
I have also applied the updater.
Thanks!

Re: Constant backfilling and no volume histogram for ES char
Just now revisiting this issue...
I removed all of the charts from my workspace, created a new realtime chart of the E-Mini S&P500, and tried adding several different indicators:
Exponential moving average
RSI
Volume histogram
Now finding that no indicator I apply to the chart will appear.
Hmmm...

Make sure the main chart indicator scaling is "Same as Instrument".Just now revisiting this issue...
