Attention!

I'm trying to run a backtest on FSLR and when I go through the charts, I see that it is missing days. 4/11 jumps straight to 4/16, skipping over the 14th and 15th. I've restarted NT, disconnected and re-connected to IQFeed, tested with new symbols to confirm that IQFeed is gathering data (it is), and re-ran my FSLR test but there's no change.

Is there some way to force NT to update? What could have happened to cause this gap and is there an easy way to check if any other symbols have gaps like this?

thanks

Open a chart for where the gap date is included, right click "Reload Historical Data"

Thanks Ray.

BTW: that option does not appear on any of the charts that appear when you run backtests.

Connect and open a new chart File > New > Chart

I got it, thanks Ray. I've never opened a chart that way before, but after your first hint I tried some options and found it. I wouldn't've thought that the options for the backtest charts could be different, but they were. I was hinting that maybe that option should be on the backtest charts also
