"Write Bar Data To File" Study bug

View Count: 287

Hey, I've tried to download intraday data with a M1 timeframe, but I can see there are a lot of gaps (sometimes there are 30 mins without any info in the txt file) though there aren't any gaps in the chart itself. I'm using the "Write Bar Data To File" to download the data.
Do you guys have any idea why it happens and how can I solve it?

Thanks a lot!

There definitively is no bug. That is impossible.

The study is definitely writing all of the bar data. Or there is some problem with the reading of the file. We recommend using a simple text editor to look at it.

Thanks for the reply :)
I did try to look at it with a simple text editor aswell and there is still some gaps. Attaching a screenshot here:
Please note the gap between 2023-12-18 12:102:00 and 2023-12-18 12:12:00

When there are gaps, it implies that there was no trading at that time.

If you are seeing trades in your chart that are not in the file, then we need to see images of both the chart where the trade is displayed and the text file showing the gap.
