Went to sleep last night and my tick charts for ES looked fine. Woke up
early and quickly noted that 'something' had changed with respect to tick
charts. The time base charts (1 min, 5 min, 15 min. etc.) looked to be ok.
I'd like to figure out what the heck is going on. I'll try to lay out what I
'saw' with the hope that somebody can let me know if they also see something
similar of if they cannot duplicate the problem. Hopefully that will help me
isolate where the cause of this 'behavior' might lie. My set up is
TradeStation 2000i using eSignal as the data vendor.
Right now my tick chart for ES Z1 shows the last tick on Sunday 10/28 at 3:59
Pacific Time (my charts are set to display my local time on the plots -
Eastern (NY) time is 3 hours later). The FIRST tick for 10/29 is time
stamped 8:56 am. The data look like they are ok EXCEPT for the missing data.
I also note that a similar issue seems to be present for ND Z1. After
noting the problem I did download data for ND Z1 from HistoryBank for 10/29.
The 'new' data didn't change anything in the chart plot.
The only thing I can think of that would have happened in the normal course
of events was a nightly maintenance run by my Global Server while I slept.
The fact that this affected data for the FIRST day after the time change on
Sunday evening makes me suspect the time change as being connected to this.
But who knows? I"ve certainly seen stranger things INFLICTED on me my
TradeStation. <G>
I don't see any OBVIOUS problems with the tick data charts from the time when
the tick chart first shows points in the plot on 10/29 until right now.
Globex data for last night seems to be plotting just fine. If that
continues, I'm not going to 'get hurt' by this problem. But I sure am
curious. "Unexplained" problems have a way of coming back and biting me in
the a**.
Any other observations of similar 'behavior' are welcomed as are statements
that no such problems were seen. And any comments or suggestions as to how
to track down the origin of this particular personal 'tar baby' would be
greatlly appreciated.

Lee Scharpen
