While I understand you are busy - this is a serious potential bug you have here. Would leave it at this. This bug is not only related to manual disconnect/reconnect but even the auto triggered historical download event causes an additional record than expected - which makes the underlying data questionable. For me data not being accurate is a show stopper. Your call whether to take care of it or not.

Looking at the notes for SCID - it appears like you have flaw in processing logic to consider the last trade as a valid trade - though it's been considered already. I am STUCK due this issue and you are not helping to fix this SERIOUS bug which is very easy to reproduce :(

When there is an automated Historical download event is triggered or when disconnect/connect event happens - Whatever the very Last TS trade was present at that time - it gets added again though it's already part of the intraday file. This is a BUG.
This erroneous records are deleted from intraday file - When "Delete and download data" is used for the very last trading session/bar.

Intraday Data File Format: DateTime

When writing tick by tick data to an Intraday data file, where each tick is a single record in the file, and multiple ticks/trades have the same timestamp, then it is acceptable for the Date-Time of the record to be the same timestamp as prior records. What Sierra Chart itself does in this case, is increment the microsecond portion of the Date-Time to create unique timestamps for each trade within a millisecond.

PS: Though you have asked not to be posted further this is REALLY a serious issue with NO workaround and this is a showstopper for me. Would you please review this?

Just to show the magnitude of the issue - ES:
Actual Number of Trades - 1024918 - With this auto triggered historical download events - Intraday file as well as number of trades is marked as 1024922 (4 record difference) - One can't really figure out where the duplicate trade is inserted into the intraday file.
