Seeing missing minute data on several days in the last months.

Also today there are missing bars. Most bars that are missing are at low volume. Compared the charts with the charts in TWS and the bars are in TWS but not in MC. Usually these are bars with OHLC at same price (no change of price in that bar). Maybe that has something to do with the issue.

Reloading the realtime collected bars often result in more missing bars.

- MultiCharts64 Version 9.0 Release (Build 11210)
- TWS version: Build 954.2q, Jan 8, 2016 10:06:14 AM
- Java 8 update 66 (64bit)
- Windows 7 Ultimate

What can be the problem?

Do you see volume in TWS?

The bar before the missing bar has volume 0 in TWS. The missing bar in MC has volume in TWS
