Post From: [Solved] FXCM Forex Data Error - Extra data for weekends

Dear Support,

Since ~2 weeks, I am encountering with the following data error, when connected to SC All Data data service and opening intraday charts of symbols from the FXCM datafeed and the FX Indexes:

On the dates of 2 December 2022, 9 December 2022 and 16 December 2022, there is an extra tick/data displayed beyond the actual market close at 17pm NY/EST, that should not exist.
The dates where the problem exists are different for individual symbols, but all of them are related to strange/dummy data on Friday, after the 17pm NY/EST close.

My charts are set to use NY/EST timezone and display sessions starting from 17:00:00 and ending at 16:59:59.

Please see the attached chart screenshots that show the data error - you can simply pick the wrong data by watching the double vertical lines displayed on the chart that represent the session start (Chart Settings >> Grid is set to Session Start = 1)

The affected pairs and dates are:

CADCHF: 12/16
CADJPY: 12/02
EURCAD: 12/02, 12/16
EURJPY: 12/02
EURUSD: 12/16
NZDJPY: 12/16
NZDUSD: 12/16
USDCAD: 12/02, 12/09, 12/16

All the FX Index symbols are affected as well (AUD-X, CAD-X, CHF-X, EUR-X, GBP-X, JPY-X, NZD-X, USD-X, USDX), but there are some differences:
- All FX indexes have the same problem for *all* dates mentioned above (12/02, 12/09, 12/16), except the NZD-X, where the problem exists on 12/9 and 12/16 only
- On 12/09 and 12/16, all FX indexes have *two* additional extra ticks in the data beyond the 17pm close: on 12/09, there are two additional ticks at 17pm and 19pm and on 12/16 there are two at 17pm and 17:30

To fix the error, I have tried to reset the data using the 'Edit >> Delete All Data and Download' option, but the result is the same.

The same issue happens for other traders in my private group as well.

I am using the latest 2458 SC version and connected to the SC All Data datafeed.

Can you please help with fixing this issue?

Thank you in advance.
