Post From: Continuous SI-201703-NYMEX-USD-5000 contract has missing days on daily but not on intraday

I wondered if "File->Date and Trade services Settings->Data File Management-> Compress to "2 seconds" was responsible since it seemed like the only thing that should be writing to the disk files after they're downloaded. I decided to run a test.

Delete everything again, select SI-201703-NYMEX-USD-5000 again and let it download from SCdata. Now compress the files. Refresh charts. No change. Load NKD-201703-GLOBEX again. Compress files again. Refresh charts. No change. Save all, Close Sierra, restart. Still no change. Both NKD and SI are fine.

So it appears that it's not the "Intraday data file management" that has caused this.

I would like to know how I got broken files, are there any other areas of the code that write to the scid and dly files?

Have you any theories on what might have broken these files?
