spiked bar

[funk101]

Sometimes a bar has a range of a ridiculous amount, clearly a bad piece of data. Like on ES this week, 1/10 at 11:10 am EST the bar low was 929.xx and high was 7000. How does that happen? And how can I get rid of that bar or tell the chart to ignore that piece of data, 'cause it throws off my display and obviously the calculations.

Hello Funk101,

Thank you for your post.

Try right clicking in your chart and selecting "Reload Hisorical Data." If the price spike remains, than it is being sent by your data provider. You can edit this out by exporting data to text, editing and importing back.

tick filtering/zen-fire

I'm not sure I would want this, would I? I'm using Zen-Fire, and they TOUT unfiltered data. Am I defeating the purpose? or is unfiltered data a nuisance in this case? Can anyone help me with this dilemma?
