Hello,

I don't belive this is correct way of handling this.
In many cases data holes are caused by the fact that trading
has been stopped because of SEC decision connected with some news.

In that case using 'average' would not be correct.

In my opinion a better idea is to just pad hole with
a copy of PREVIOUS quote but volume set to ZERO.

Best regards,
