I purchased and loaded Mini Nikkei futures trade data from JPX. I converted the data to this CSV format:

Symbol,Date,Time,Open,High,Low,Close,Volume
F.US.MJNKH21,2020-12-30,07:30:01.046,27515,27515,27515,27515,393

The times are in UTC, and the formats are valid according to your spec.

When I view the data using 5 minutes per bar (RTH or ETH), it looks great (see attachment).
When I view the data as 1 day (1440 minutes), using RTH only, it looks great (see attachment).
When I view the data as 1 day (1440 minutes), using ETH, it is very wrong (see attachment).

Any ideas? I have manually examined the data and it appears to be fine.

Because I couldn't attach an additional file, here are the settings for the chart (attached).

This is due to your data provider having a lack of historical data. The only solution is to use the Denali Exchange Data Feed. Refer to the information on this page, including the Setup Instructions:

It's not CQG data. It was imported from a CSV.

When you import the data, you need to make sure you are Disconnected from the data feed. Otherwise, the data feed is going to try and fill in the data. Refer to the following:

Thank you John. I did disconnect prior to importing. After importing, I think the feed automatically reconnected. I will re-import and try again. By the way, to import tick data which has a single transaction price, when I import to SC, I should be using this transaction price as the O, H, L, and C, correct?

Yes, that would be correct.

I wanted to follow-up here for anyone who happens to load Nikkei CSV data from JPX. They have a very odd notation in their format which is "Make_Date" which refers to the business day. This is not the date the trade was transacted, but the business day, which goes from midnight to midnight. In short, you will see the time on the tick data roll over to midnight, but the dates do not change. I was incorrectly assigning "transaction date" to "make date" but you must use additional logic to get the actual date of the transaction. Annoying, but after doing this, the problem mentioned above goes away. This can be closed, and thanks for the help John and other SC support members.
