SCID data file size maximum

View Count: 1085

Running SC 1191 & today's BarChart data for YMZ15 had unusual data gaps overnight from about 1900 to 0500 as displayed in SC. I called BarChart too early, left VM, asking if there was a data problem, but never heard back from them. I performed Edit/Edit/download data - Intraday Chart to try and correct the missing data, early in the day and now (4:30p MST) and appears the gap has gotten larger?

Many moons ago I turned off feature that splits SCID data files when they get large and also perform rollover join feature for a continuous data file. I do so because I want at least 80 trading days of intraday data available.

Is it possible I have I reached a maximum file size? The current YMX15 file shows 272000KB size. Any other ideas?

Thx,
nth

Barchart did have a historical tick by tick data problem earlier. We are not sure it is yet resolved.

You did not even come remotely close to the maximum file size. 64-bit file sizes are supported. There is no chance you would run out of space.

These are the relevant messages:

Most likely this is caused by a firewall or other connectivity problem:

Also the newer versions of Sierra Chart use more reliable HTTP communication. This has all been written by us. It is direct and bypasses the Windows operating system HTTP functions.
