[Sierra 1883] Import/Export Data in Trade Activity Log suspect bug

View Count: 906

It seems that exporting trading activity and re-importing it causes an issue with prices higher than 9999 (i.e. 11604.0 --> imported as 1160.4 )

Thanks for checking it


PS it seems that it happens during the import phase

That does not make sense. This would only be caused by the price multiplier set for the symbol in the Global Symbol Settings. But as you change that multiplier, the prices will change. There is not going to be any permanent change to the imported data.

issue was linked only importing some TradeActivityLogs exported by previous version (maybe 81-82) where exported price different than in previous and actual 83 release

as usual having a detailed changelog of your version would have helped to solve the issue quicker. It's difficult to understand why there is no changelog in SierraChart

thanks for the support

This makes no sense either. The exported prices are not different between versions. That just does not happen. You conclusion is completely incorrect here. No such change has ever taken place ever in the history of the trade activity log.

The most likely issue is that you are not exporting the data properly. You need to use File >> Export on the Trade Activity Log window.

yes, this is how I do it (and I don't know an other way to export)

Here in attachment you could find "TradeActivityLogExport_2019-03-18" with prices like 10819.0 and file "TradeActivityLogExport_2019-03-19_3" with prices like 108190.0000000 .

Only the last one works correctly importing again it in Sierra. I don't know why they are different


I hope it helps
