SC Support there was my post ... also ... I'm trying to store a tick's datetime = 41813.000 it displays as 2014-06-23 00:00:00.500 say 1 ms = 1 day / 86400 000 = 0,000000012 if datetime = 41813.000000012 then it displays as 2014-06-23 00:00:00.501 if datetime = 41813.000000024 then it displays as 2014-06-23 00:00:00.502 so the question is: why 500 ms is already there or it's because of me? thnx another case: pls take the exmpl from post #3, remove all ms-parts and import the data Date, Time, Open, High, Low, Close, Volume, NumberofTrades, BidVolume, AskVolume 20140619, 12:30:09, 34880, 34880, 34880, 34880, 6, 1, 0, 6 20140619, 12:30:10, 34880, 34880, 34880, 34880, 6, 1, 0, 6 20140619, 12:30:10, 34877, 34877, 34877, 34877, 2, 1, 2, 0 20140619, 12:30:11, 34879, 34879, 34879, 34879, 5, 1, 0, 5 20140619, 12:30:11, 34880, 34880, 34880, 34880, 2, 1, 0, 2 20140619, 12:30:13, 34880, 34880, 34880, 34880, 2, 1, 0, 2 20140619, 12:30:13, 34880, 34880, 34880, 34880, 3, 1, 0, 3 20140619, 12:30:13, 34880, 34880, 34880, 34880, 3, 1, 0, 3 Edit --> Import and Load intraday Data so ... as you can see the 500 ms is already there http://s13.postimg.org/ns7hu9azb/test4ms1.png go the one tick back and you'll see 499ms as an unexpected part the question is the same: why 499ms or 500ms are already there? thnx Date Time Of Last Edit: 2014-06-23 14:43:27

SC Support As we can see the issue is related to a chart /status bar/. Tools Value Window displays the proper values of milliseconds. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2014-06-25 07:12:53

SC Support The case is the status bar displays wrong numbers instead of milliseconds. That's it. So this is your choice to correct the issue or to leave it as is. I don't care.

There is no problem with the status bar. We imported this data: Date, Time, Open, High, Low, Close, Volume, NumberofTrades, BidVolume, AskVolume 20140619, 12:30:09, 34880, 34880, 34880, 34880, 6, 1, 0, 6 20140619, 12:30:10, 34880, 34880, 34880, 34880, 6, 1, 0, 6 20140619, 12:30:10, 34877, 34877, 34877, 34877, 2, 1, 2, 0 20140619, 12:30:11, 34879, 34879, 34879, 34879, 5, 1, 0, 5 20140619, 12:30:11, 34880, 34880, 34880, 34880, 2, 1, 0, 2 20140619, 12:30:13, 34880, 34880, 34880, 34880, 2, 1, 0, 2 20140619, 12:30:13, 34880, 34880, 34880, 34880, 3, 1, 0, 3 20140619, 12:30:13, 34880, 34880, 34880, 34880, 3, 1, 0, 3 There were no milliseconds in the Intraday Data Editor, in the Tool Values Window or on the Status Bar. The milliseconds were 0 in each of these. The Intraday data importing function does not have support for milliseconds. We will see about adding this.

SC Support There were no milliseconds in the Intraday Data Editor, in the Tool Values Window or on the Status Bar. The milliseconds were 0 in each of these. My eyes says me you are wrong: http://s28.postimg.org/3kl6j3spp/wrong_ms.png when importing data, there will be support for reading milliseconds from the time according to the format you give above. Very good. Thnx.
