I´ve again the problem, using tickcharts, that I´m missing data!
You can see it in the image (chart I). I think this problem is concerning to the new server. So yesterday afternoon MCFX worked fine until the late afternoon and today you can see only one big candlestick for a large time (see chart II)!
Can I use the old server if the problem persits? What I´ve to do for this?
See my other thread "missing data"!
Kindest regards,
Thomas

Missing Data again!!!
You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.
Two months of data seems to have vanished from the GBP/USD hourly charts this afternoon. The chart jumps from 03/12/2007 (2.0555) to 07/02/2008 (1.9412).

You'll need to reinstall an older version of MCFX from the downloads page, then select port 7000, 8000, or 9000 under File / Preferences. Port 8000 is FXCM. Port 9000 is Gain Capital.Can I use the old server if the problem persits? What I´ve to do for this?

First, make sure you have changed your computer time to GMT +2.
Next, I have been able to load 500, 600 or even 650 bars, it seems fine. It breaks at 700 bars and therefore it appears that there is a data allocation limitation which instead of limiting data on the back-end is eliminating data on the front-end of the data request.
Finally, it appears to be limited to hour bars. I changed to 60 minutes and the issue did not repeat itself. It will happen on other symbols as well, but it seems not all.
Take care,
Don

Seems on the tick chart the issue is for all symbols and I would guess has a limited resolution. It seems it is the same problem that on minute charts changing computer time fixes, however limited to the solution being to request fewer bars. The chart works for me at 100 bars back. Make sure you have changed your computer time.

If you're looking at USD/CAD, the data in that pair appears to have been restored.A quick fix - format the symbol compression from 1 Day to 24 Hour.
Another interesting discovery:
Add a 24-hour bar chart as data 2. Change the original chart from 1-day to 24-hour, and then back to 1 day. You now have daily data again in the main chart for the period after 12/24/07! Bizarre.
Trying those techniques with GBP/USD or USD/JPY, for example, nothing happens. The data is still missing.

From a quick scan, it seems that:Yes, the problem seems to be with certain pairs.
eurgbp usdchf gbpusd usdjpy nzdjpy nzdusd audcad audusd cadjpy chfjpy eurcad eurchf
all have missing hourly and daily data, and:
audjpy eurjpy eurusd gbpaud gbpchf gbpjpy usdhkd usdsgd eurnzd audnzd euraud
do not.
