loading data for ##.## contract again

[verge]

I wanted to make sure that the correct data is used for the 6E ##.## contract so I did the following in NT 7.....15

Deleted all data for 6E 06-10 and 6E ##.## that I had in the database using data manager - (there is another bug here : when you right click on the instrument (for example 6E 06-10) and select delete only the last month's tick data seems to be deleted - as can be seen of the 6E 06-10 tree is expanded)
Anyway - after deletion I downloaded data for 6E 06-10 from start date 16 March 10 to 11 May 2010.

I then ran the SampleMAcrossover strategy from 17 March to 10 May on 6E. NT correctly did not download the data again.

I then rand the SampleMAcrossover strategy for the same dates on 6 ##.## (note that even though I used 6e ## the time span does not cover more than a single contract) and NT incorrectly displayed that it is downloading data for 6E 06-10 - why? the data was in the local database already.

Hi Verge,

Thank you for your post.

Can you tell me what dates were imported for 6E ##-## and the dates used when attempting to run the SMACrossOver Strategy.

The dates are in my original post

I ran the same dates on both strategies - see above. The data that was imported again for the 6e ##.## test started one day before my start date and ended one day after
