Hi SC,
I have noticed numbers bars, during certain times of the day, notably during open and around 1:30 LT and also during regular trading hours, the appearance of bars with missing price levels, i.e without any bid/ask volume displayed/recorded for that price level.

May I know, how the numbers bars study is storing this, or under what circumstances may this kind of a numbers bars occur, so that i can have code to catch this kind of exception in my custom study code.
This is posing an additional challenge while working with range bars especially.

We see nothing like this at all. We do not know what the chart settings are or exactly what you have done to cause that. This is an example of what we see:

Here is an occurrence on an active contract. There are some price levels where there is no recording for the bidvol|askvol within the numbers bars.

I am seeing these missing price levels, on real time connections on liquid products like even NQ, GC, CL and it frequently affects my custom studies referencing that price level data. This also occurs on different installations of Sierra that i have running on the same system.

How can i fix this, if the error is on my side?

London time.

If needed i can share my chartbook (contains only the numbers bars study and a few general settings), to figure this out. As i said, this is a frequent enough occurrence (I am observing this even in real-time data instances of sierra) and for liquid products, rendering it impossible to deploy my custom study without catching such exceptions whenever they might occur.
