Post From: Missing Data TPO and chart bars

The problem with the spike in the data is due to the fact that you are trying to load a chart for the December contract of ZM (ZMZ24) and you have it set to be a "Continuous Futures Contract". Since the December contract is not the current front contract, this creates the situation you are seeing. Refer to the following:
Continuous Futures Contract Charts: Issues When Symbol of Chart is not Current Contract and Expires Later

If you are wanting to actually view the December contract, then you would need to set the "Continuous Futures Contract" option to "None" for that chart.

Otherwise, if you want to have a Continuous Futures Contract chart for ZM, then you would need to set the Symbol to be either the July (N) or August (Q) contract. August. The August contract is currently trading a higher volume, so this would be our recommendation.

With regards to missing data, this looks like the same situation as before. ZM is not traded much overnight, so there will be missing bars. If you want to have a bar at every time point, set the option for "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Bar Period >> Include Columns with No Data" to "Yes".
