Post From: V1434 Waiting to Download Historical-Stays. Seems Won't Backtest AutoTrade

--> EDITED:
I tried rapid disconnect today, 2 hours after this post.
Quick as I was to disconnect in 1-2 seconds, (it tried to connect twice),
it quickly messed up my backup day 06-25, adding up to part of 6-30 data.
= = = = = =

Trading systems must be tested on at least 15 very-different days.
The normal 3 days loaded won't do. Hence separate day files.

You're saying:
- LET SC attempt to download ONLY WITH cable connected,
- hit Disconnect after connect turns Green,
- so messages turn Red-"Download Cancelled" ?

This does't allow us to just unplug the I-net cable before start SC anymore?
(no connection=never goes green to cancel; Waiting to Dnload mssgs never go away)

My tests prove that's different than pre- 1430.
It was changed?

Now, we must be quick to avoid adding data to old separate day files?
We wanted files ended where they were.
Seems riskier to files than my way- may change stop point.



Pls clarify, for old days backtesting
whether:
a) anything in re download data was changed around 1430,
b) above is the new procedure (unplugging no longer allowed- yellow mssgs will hang),
c) no next day data will get added onto an old day file if we're quick to disconnect.

Though 1) you want(?) feedback on affects of releases, and
2) info like above might help many SC users,

I should
a) subscribe for nonbroker Instance,
or
b) send $ for support time.

An issue like this due to your changes should not be borne soley by me.
Do you allow about 15 minutes before this applies?

When I do very well, I had hoped to send SC a Bonus, in appreciation.
