I have attempted to delete and downloaded for daily historical data for ES only (no problems with other futures contracts) and it will not download daily bars from 9/19 thru till today. It started forming todays bar after opening. I tried deleting all .dly files in data folder for a clean redownload to no avail. I can pull the contracts that contain the dates that are missing and the candles appear, but as soon as I rollover to current contract they disappear from chart. I was pulling up ES every day for a year and quit trading it about the time that the last candle exists 9/19 and did not pull it up again till today. I tried changing to SC data and it pulls up fine. Go back to Teton they again disappear. Log below is what comes up after I do a delete and download data on a daily historical daily, weekly, monthly chart. If I watch the chart As I do it, all the candles briefly flash a completed chart to present for a split second, and then the candles after 9/19 disappear and the gap till today returns.
