Missing bars on 5min chart

Postby NW27 » 28 Jul 2011

Hi,

Occasionally I get missing bars on the 5min chart. These seem to coincide with no price change on the last minute of the bar. The last 1min bar of this period had trades, there is volume for this bar. Regardless, the preceding 4min bars that make up the missing 5min bar, all have trades and price movement.

How do I get the bars to display correctly?

Another 5min bar missing yesterday.
They are there on the tick, 1min but there is a gap in the 5min.

Do you have 2 data series in the 5 min chart?

TJ,

Yes, this is the missing bar or should I say, this is the gap in the chart.

Why????

I don't know why.

I can see the gap, but according to the time axis, there is no missing data.
The previous bar is 14:55, and the next bar is 15:00.

You should let technical support see it in live chat.
