Empty bars

Postby waveslider » 01 Apr 2020

With recent haltings in markets, there are intraday periods where no data appears on the chart for a time.
For example in the S&P emini on 3/18 at 1pm EST.
Is there a way to eliminate these bars?
Thanks

An easy way to eliminate the no data periods would be to use a non-time based bar, such as range (point) bars, renko, etc.

Thanks, I need to use time based bars in this case.

If you disable the 'show empty periods' option in the chart settings screen, do those 'empty bars' still appear?

That is already disabled. I think I might have to find each period and manually enter the data in with Quotemanager
