Post From: Continuous contract issues

All Continuous Weekly contracts are now displaying properly for the time period I care about. I just copied the properly performing files of TF, NQ, and ZB from the second copy of Sierra and pasted them into the Data folder of the first copy of Sierra. The "multiplier distortion" is still there, but instead of starting in Oct 2014 it's now located at the end of 2009 for the TF and ZB and Mar 2012 for NQ. All 3 of these charts were downloaded with 2000 in the Days To Load box, and NQ chose to stop in 2012 rather than 2009, which is fine with me, I'm only displaying 2 years of data in all of my weekly charts anyway.

It was not a limit problem that was causing yesterday's totally blank NQ chart, it was choosing the wrong Edit command. All day yesterday and this morning as well I was using the Edit/Delete All Data And Download command in my attempts to get NQ to populate the chart, ending in failure every time. Then I tried Edit/Download Data - Historical Chart
and it populated instantly.

There is a good thing that came out of this, because of your posting about limits I did some reading yesterday in Sierra Help and learned that I need to delete about 90% of my Data folder (it's embarrassingly huge) and I'm going to stop loading up 3 or 4 Chartbooks that have 30 to 40 charts each (long story) at start-up.

Thanks
