Bitcoin and Micro Bitcoin on CME trade 24/7 with the exception of:

Saturday 3am - 5am ET
Mon - Fri 5:00pm to 5:02pm ET

My chart, which has "Load All Weekend Data" selected, is not updating at a time on Saturday that it should be (Saturday 1am ET). The last time I see data seems to be prior to 8pm ET on Friday.

Is there a setting I should be enabling, or does SC not support this weekend data yet (Denali data here)?

Based on everything that we know, this is a real problem for us to allow Saturday data for any futures other than for CME channels which are specifically identified as 24/7. And there is only one channel that is identified that way, and support for that channel should be working by Sunday evening.

We are going to corrupt the database if we support Saturday data for any other channel. So we are not changing anything at this time. The CME has created a real problem with what they are doing with 24/7 trading.

On Saturday, test data is transmitted. And this is the reason why it is always ignored. We could look at the schedule for test data more closely and specifically eliminate that particular timeframe but we just do not want to take any chances now.

Hello, notwithstanding the Saturday morning maintenance window mentioned above, I'm assuming this is still an issue as I'm seeing a gap in market data from approximately ~8pm ET on Fridays through ~8pm ET on Saturdays (observed in both MBTU26-CME & METU26-CME).

@Sierra_Chart Engineering, is there any plan to "look at the schedule for test data more closely" per your last post? If not, please consider doing so...

We will see if we can improve this, but all of the data is definitely not going to be included on Saturday.
