Jerry Medved Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 the error has to do with trendlines. Please go to FILE/Export Settings on a portfolio or dashboard. Select Settings and "Log File" on the left side and leave it as "To share with others" on the right. Export, then email me the exported file. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 got your log. will look. As for the spike, next time it happens, please use the trace option (cross-hair) to move over the candle in question and tell me which of the values are messed up (Open, High, Low, Close) and what the corresponding value is on the Level I quote. From what I've seen, the LOW has been a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 was able to recreate the overflow error using your files. Will fix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HK~ Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Thank you, Easily replicated, I cleared data, backfilled, obtained spike bar expanded time scale for clarity Raw Data Window [Time&Sales] Once again, after finished Screen Shots, cleared Data / Backfill, Spike gone... consistent with observations, spike on 1st backfill, resolved on 2nd backfill... Have a good day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 y, the issue is not backfill actually. It is has to do with the first few quotes after you clear the data. IB doesn't send a full quote. It sends pieces of data as they change. So when you clear the data, MT doesn't have any LAST until something changes. For now I made it not record zero last, but that may cause other problems. will look how to handle that more elegantly. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HK~ Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Thank you for explanation, that makes sense. I think the easy workaround for now, is to just delay backfill a bit after data clear. Will try that to see if it helps eliminate spikes...

Jerry Medved Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 that won't do anything. You can not backfill at all and you would still get the zero LAST rows. only way to work around is to stop quotes. Clear, then start quotes. But anyway, I already fixed the issue. will be in next update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
