First go to the downloader and click file\securities and look at the
last date available for the security you wish to plot (I believe you
said it is 12\16\94- why such an old CD?). Then when you plot be certain
that the "Last Date" in the format price data (settings tab) window is
not different from the last date available in the data you wish to plot.
TradeStation always defaults to the current date on the settings when
you plot a new security. It also does so every time you change
securities using the format data window. This may not be the problem but
I thought the suggestion might work. If you have not already done so you
may want to subscribe to an eod data vendor to update the daily data.
Hope this helps.
