I recently updated from SC 1261 to 1282. I am using a rithmic connection with Deep Discount Trading/Wedbush as my broker. The ZBU5 weekly chart is not showing properly (see attached). If I change the weekly chart to a daily chart then it displays fine. I tried deleting all data and re-downloading and that didn't work.

The problem isn't limited to ZBU5- every weekly chart is off, but the daily and monthly charts are fine.

The solution to this problem is to follow the instructions here to re-download data for all contract months in the chart:

We can see missing data clearly.

There is no doubt once that is done according to the documentation you will not have a problem.

The chart does display properly:

I was following those instructions and it didn't work.

But I found the issue. I had my days to load set to: 20000. When I reduced it to 2000 then it displayed the chart fine.

I had it set to 20000 in SC 1261 and the charts displayed fine. Then when I upgraded to 1282 the weekly charts stopped displaying correctly. I don't see how this is any fault of mine.

While I realize requesting 20000 days of data is excessive- it worked before and now it doesn't. That sounds like a bug that needs to be fixed.

That value is definitely too high, but it should not make a difference. We will test this.
