What exact message are you getting? The issue with opening a file that was probably leading to this condition definitely has been resolved: Trade Activity file unexpected condition. Did not find FIELD_CODE_BEGIN_RECORD when expected. Field code read: -1. C:\SierraChart\TradeActivityLogs\TradeActivityLog_2022-01-13_UTC.Sim22.simulated.data | 2022-01-13 00:09:38.087 * If you run into an issue where Sierra Chart is freezing it means you are back testing too fast. And also back testing can cause the user interface to freeze if it is happening at a high speed. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

The only thing we can think of to remove those errors, is to delete the files that are giving that particular error, then redo the back test. The complete path and file name for them is given. So you can easily delete them. We recommend exiting from Sierra Chart first before deleting them. Version 2343 is affected by the issue, but you are running 2344. The problem is resolved in that version. However, if the files are still giving that error you need to delete them. The error is harmless though.
