AW: whats this FEATURE ?



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

Further questions:
- Does the old signal reappear if you load data up until yesterday only?
- How does it behave with Ascii data up until yesterday, until today?

Maybe it's a data problem with unshown Globex prices or something like that.

| 
| some questions....
| 1. if it is a bought system, what's its name? someone on the list may have 
| had similar problems.
| 2. what is the system logic? it sounds like it might be a recursive
| calculation 
| causing the problem if a prior day's bar had dropped off when the new bar 
| is set to be added after midnight.
| 3. could it be a mmb problem?
| 4. what happens if you use intraday data (set at 405 min) for daily bars 
| rather than daily data?
| 5. when all else fails, have you contacted the system developer to report 
| the problem? is the system white box, gray box, or black box?
