Post From: ver 1878 creates broken charts

Opening existing Chartbooks does not seem to be a problem.

The problem happens when you're downloading historical data for a symbol for the very first time.

I created an entirely new Sierrachart installation today from scratch. When I load an intraday chart, it looks like this:

The reason why it looks like that is it downloads historical only up to a certain point (in this case 2011), then it skips the rest and show the data for the past few minutes. Then when I change the days to load, it will only show the data for the past few minutes, no matter what # I enter for days to load.

I have tried this with both SC Data - All Services and CQG Fix and it happens to both so this is not a data provider problem.

When I downgraded to 1875 and 1877, the problem no longer reproduced. Please understand, I tested this using a fresh installation of Sierrachart, complete with default everything. Just the way it comes when a first-time user downloads Sierrachart for the very first time. I had no previous data files or settings or anything. So I can confidently say this is NOT due to settings.

edit* when you're trying to replicate this, don't test this on an existing SC installation with already-created charts/chartbooks. create an entirely new SC installation (i.e. C:\Sierrachart2 or something) and then select any symbol to create new intraday chart. you will see what i mean.
