I believe errors in downloaded data is causing problems with my back testing. I’ve tried deleting and downloading but I get the same data. I’m on Sierra Charts AT 1717, Windows 10.

Please see the attached NQ data file – there are several data problems, specifically on:

11/16/17
11/17/17
11/28/17
12/1/17
12/13/17
12/15/17 3 times
12/18/17 15 times
12/19/17 21 times
12/20/17 13 times
12/21/17 8 times
12/22/17 3 times
12/26/17 8 times
12/27/17 7 times
12/28/17 8 x
12/29/17 12 x
1/1/18
1/3/18 29x
1/4/18 10x
1/5/18 19x
1/7/18 2x
1/8/18 3x
1/9/18 11x
1/10/18 13x

etc...

An example of the problem data:

2017/11/16, 17:07:26, -19990009513251226345509817234554355712.00, 6370.00, 6367.25, 6370.00, 1, 1, 0, 1
2017/11/16, 17:07:26.1, -19990019654456028171345029208179998720.00, 6370.00, 6367.25, 6370.00, 1, 1, 0, 1

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

This is the result of exported data:

2017/11/16, 17:07:26, -19990009513251226345509817234554355712.00, 6370.00, 6367.25, 6370.00, 1, 1, 0, 1

The open value is a special flag value and that will be filtered out in the next release.

Is that what's causing the errors in back testing?

No, that would not make sense. Those values would never be loaded into a chart.
