Allpin,
Hi, I'll list things so its easier on the eye and to keep track of:
Timeframes not updating
------------------------------
Yes, I mentioned on Friday that I changed the offset as you suggested but, nothing happened, I.E no updates.
The H4, H6, H8, D1, W1, M1 are not updating.. The Modified time never changes on ANY of the files, Even the ones that update perfectly, I.E 1min, 5min, 15min, 30min, H1.
The only time the file modified time gets updated is when the application restarted.
The lower timeframes are working very well and very fast updating, and reliable. The application has never crashed and I dont have any error messages, only when I misstype something in the configuration file, which is easily corrected.
Timezones
-------------
Yes, I thought the offsets were something to do with setting the timezones, I was a bit confused..
I am told with my account and FXCM's tradestation that I cant change the timezones, which is GMT.
I dont mind working with EST if you can tell me how to change marketscope to EST otherwise you see different sized candles on the higher timeframes when you go back and forth between marketscope and yoru 3rd party charting package which can be confusing. Its not as important an issue as the upside down candles and timeframe updates, so just when you can get it done would be great.
Upside down candles
------------------------
This is a big problem, as I said it may be nothing to do with your application. It could affect all apps pulling history from the API, maybe.. I would rule this one out first before you spend any time troubleshooting the CSV app.
Temporary file hashing (solved)
---------------------------
I fixed this one entirely, by installing a RAMdisk application and pointing the CSV file output to there. I recommend the use of a RAM disk if you update the CSV's frequently.
Thanks
