Well it was set on Daily. Everything over there is off at this point. I had to re-boot, the lock-up corrupted the Tradestation files. This really ticks me off because Tradestation is more sensitive than QCharts. QCharts can go up and down but Tradestation is more Stable. When it does crack up because of a hang like this it takes a lot of work to get it back. I'm also not looking forward to finding out that there are trading systems corrupted in this. Well, I was going to buy the kids some Christmas presents. Guess they get coal. But for me it's uncanny how an event like an FOMC Meeting turns QCharts into Jello.....or perhaps molasses is the right term. EDIT Lost all my historical intraday data on Tradestation. Second time in two months. There are times QCharts is inexpensive, well, because it's just plain cheap. EDIT Thank God, it was just today's data. It still fouls a lot up. I was running an SnP system that was 8 for 9 in trades over the last two Months. It was Long for today from 4 PM yesterday and rode this move up the entire way. But now, it does not have that trade in it's memory so it "thinks" it's still Short from yesterday. So my testing is corrupted. It's the little things like this that make me crazy.
