We certainly are not going to contact CQG about any data problems. As a matter of policy we do not do that unless there are serious ongoing problems. We will only recommend our own data feed in this case. That is the only efficient policy that makes any sense.

You are welcome to contact CQG about this yourself.



(I also noticed you have a partial wick then a blank space then the body on the Peak red bar just under 1272 in the same time-frame we're looking at.)
We looked into this, and this is correct. It is because there was a price movement which skipped about .3, and subsequent price movement causing both a reversal and a new bar. This new trade was recorded on the following bar so that is why the bar low did not match with the "fake" open and close generated by these types of bars.

This is why generally these types of bars are not well regarded by us. They are just simply a manipulation of actual price movement. Anyway, we made an adjustment to adjust the bar low or high in this case, but that is just a manipulation so the user feels as though they are looking at something "correct" but actually what we did was create false price movement. But anyway if the users want to see fake price movement in order to feel they are looking at something correct, that is what we are going to do for them and also to avoid future reports of correct display of price action that have to be explained.
