I have lost all of my Trade Activity Log data prior to yesterday. I have been using SC for years.

I recently downloaded version 1842. I also deleted some programs on my C disk that I wasn't using because I was running low on disk space. None of the deleted programs had anything to do with SC that I am aware of.

FWIW, my disk capacity is

C - 55.6GB with 39.2MB free

E - 232GB with 80.1GB free

Thank you

Refer to this section here:

There are backup trade activity logs available in case there is some problem with the file itself which would seem unlikely.

Thank you,

My Days to Save in Trade Activity Log is set to Non-Sim 93, Sim 15 and Non-Sim fills 365.

So I followed the instructions for the Backup Data File and moved the file from the 16th, last Friday, to the main folder and regained my trade history prior to, and including, that day.

I am missing yesterday and today now, but will live with that as I am only trading SIM this holiday week.

I wish I knew what I did to cause this so I don't do it again.

Many thanks

Okay, we are also implementing more frequent backups of the trade activity log file. This should be out in a couple of weeks.
