BUG: Duplicate indexes in database

[zstheorist]

So I finally "upgraded" to NT 8.1 since you never fixed the missing VX 06-24 bug in 8.0. There is a weird bug in 8.1.3.1.
One thing you changed is that indices are now referenced by, e.g. $RUT instead of ^RUT. This appears to have introduced an error into the database. Now when I open a chart for the index, or even if I go to Historical Data and download an update, it puts the new data into an identically named, but DIFFERENT place. (See attached screenshot below).
Please fix this, I key some trades off of long-term trends in index values.
Note: This affects all indices. I have an identical problem with $VIX.

Hello zstheorist,

Thank you for posting on the NinjaTrader forums.


What data provider are you using to download your historical data in this case?


We look forward to assisting further.

Hello zstheorist,

It looks like it's based on how the data is being saved into the database. Since you'll be using 8.1+ moving forward, the best thing to do here is to remove the duplicate data and redownload it so that it only downloads into a single data brand versus two separate ones.



Thank you!
