Range Bar Problem NT v7.4

[ThatManFromTexas]

Hello,

Please go to Tools--> Options--> Data tab--> Set the "Merge Policy" to "DoNotMerge". Then right click on your chart and select "reload all historical data" and let me know if it backfills correctly. If not, you can set this back to "MergeBackAdjusted".

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Had you read my first post you would know that ... Once I shut everthing down and reopened everything... the bar was gone.

I would prefer not to have to deal with the possibility of this recurring.

Will what you suggested keep the long bar incident from happening in the future?

I use Zenfire.

I reloaded historical data, no change.

I do not believe it was a "phantom" spike.

In the past during sudden heavy volume, i.e. Petroleum Inventory Status report etc., I would get a group of 5 tick range bars shooting across the screen too fast to trade, that would eventually calm down once volume went back to "normal".

It "feels" like that is what is happening now, only I get one long bar instead of a group of small bars. In the second attachment there is a long bar that is then "back filled" by a group of 5 tick bars.

There was nothing in the log file related to any of this.

Hello ThatManFromTexas,

Thank you for your post.

What happens when you right click on your chart and select "Reload all historical data"? Do the 5 range bars go back to normal?

Who do you connect to for data?

Do you get any errors on the Log tab of the Control Center? If so, what do these errors report?

I trade on 5 tick range bars.

Twice since upgrading to NT 7.4 I have seen a HUGE range bar (up to 20 ticks) suddenly materialize in the middle of live streaming and then the subsequent bars go back to 5 ticks.

I'm used to getting sudden movements that result in a bunch of 5 tick bars getting generated all at once, but this is a new development.
