Post From: FX data feed question

Hello SC team,

I have opened 5 minutes charts of XAUUSD from SC Forex Data (FXCM) data feed with both versions of platform .NET and non.NET (both latest 1149) and noticed two types of differences in data:

1) as you know, gold spot market has an hour break every day, from 21:00 to 22:00 gmt time. For some reason, this break was correctly handled in .Net version, but not in non.Net version. non.Net version still shows data within this hour, most of bars are flat obviously. At the screenshot you can also notice that an hour from 22 to 23 is missing (for this particular date)
2) overall OHLC prices are differenet for every bar, as for example I highlighted bar 2014-06-20 00:20:00 on both screenshots. I assume 5 minutes bars from the same data provider should look the same.

Could you please explain why these differences occur or what to do so to avoid having them?

PS. is there any reason why function/formula edit box on top is read only in non.net version?
Thank you in advance.
