I previously downloaded historical tick-by-tick data from Sierra Chart for: EW1U17 P2425.FUT_OPT.CME Trade date: 2017-08-28 My local SCID file contains no event in: (2017-08-28 22:06:01.000 UTC, 2017-08-28 22:06:01.001 UTC] I am not asking for new data or a redownload. I only need to know whether Sierra Chart can determine from its historical-data source/server records whether the historical tick stream supplied for this symbol/date was complete across that instant, or whether absence of a record in the SCID cannot distinguish “no trade occurred” from “historical data may be missing.” Specifically, can Sierra Chart certify either: 1. that all trade events supplied by the relevant historical source for this symbol/date were delivered without a gap covering that timestamp; or 2. that no trade event existed for this contract during that one-millisecond interval? A simple yes/no with the basis for the answer is sufficient. |

No we cannot: whether Sierra Chart can determine from its historical-data source/server records whether the historical tick stream supplied for this symbol/date was complete across that instant,
No we definitely cannot certify either 1 or 2. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
