Realtime Recording / Historical Loading
Posted: Nov 04 2006
Hi,
I've noticed that when MC uses live feeds, the bars generated on screen and stored in DB are according to the computer clock.
However if for some reason there were data communication errors or hickups, the data generated from realtime will actually differ from that loaded from the provider.
To "Fix" this, a user can delete the bar/tick/whatever data from the DB using the Quote Manager's "Edit Data" functionality.
I think that MC needs to change it's behavior in some way regarding this.
I think it would be nice for bars to be retro-fitted, perhaps when re-opening the chart window with historical data.
This is mainly an issue with bars that have no data at all (like a 30 second bar which occurred during a provider breakdown)...
