12/7/14 Your futures charts can fail to show continuous, your Forex can show bad data. I had previously reported that charts can look totally garbage. You advised "Edit>Delete all data and download". Often that fixes appearance, but can leave Y-axes with truncated values (as little as one digit "zero") or magnitude differences between daily and 1hr/intraday. Often deleting the physical files and re download does not fix. This week I have been re-examining your 1126 Forex symbols. Here are examples where "Edit>Delete all data and download" fixed shape, but not Y-scales; the daily Y-tics are more than a million times those of 1hr/intra-day, i.e., 10power6, aka 6 orders of magnitude. Ratios below are rounded to nearest power of ten. SYMBOL daily/1hr-Scale ^HKDGBP 10power7 ^HNLGBP 10power8 ^HUFARS 10power8 ^INRAUD 10power7 ^INRCAD 10power7 ^INRGBP 10power7 ^INRUSD 10power7 ^JPYAUD 10power7 ^JPYBRL 10power7 ^JPYCAD 10power7 ^JPYDKK 10power7 ^JPYEUR 10power7 and ^INREUR is horizontal line on both daily and intra charts even after re download. ^INRSEK is ok on 1 hr, stays garbage on daily chart after refresh. These are enough to show why I don't trust your data, initially or after time lapse (days to months). Therefore, Sierra can be very nice for custom analyses, but dangerous to trade from chart. |
