Re: Corrupt data

Just a note to confirm I am getting the same two errors.

I can't help but note that the INDU problem with the wrong opening value on the daily bar starts on Feb 29th, which might be a strange date to the software. Also, for the intraday data, the difference between the two values is suspiciously related to 65535, an important computer number.

I don't know what good either of these observations does though. Still have a whole bunch of hand editing to do.

Seems to me a long while ago several people were discussing how bad ticks on intraday data happened. I didn't note it carefully at the time, but there might be more clues in the archives.
