Range Bar Backfill ?

[T2020]

I didn't use my range bar charts for a few days and am wondering why the
charts make no effort to properly chart the last few days either premarket or
regular hours ? For whatever number of days the charts weren't active , they
simply draw a straight diagonal line of bars pointed up or down depending on
the direction the market took . Minute charts will backfill OK ???

Hello,


Thank you for your post.

Please right click your chart>Properties, and confirm that session ends and begins are set to 12:00 AM.

If this does not help, please tell me who your data feed is. If you do not have access to tick data your charts will not populate properly with tick data.

This link details which intervals each data feed supports:

I have Interactive Brokers . I know it's not tick data ,but range bars do work
during live charting hours .

Hello,

Yes, this is because you are recording real-time bar data: Tools>Options>Data tab -> Store real-time bar data is checked.

Therefore, when you do not have your charts up, the charts will be empty.
