Author	Topic: What is going on in @ES#? Corrupt data (5 messages, Page 1 of 1)
programmer -Interested User- Posts: 35 Joined: Feb 3, 2010	Posted: Aug 18, 2010 10:46 AM Msg. 1 of 5 I'm looking at tick data on the @ES# instrument and I'm seeing all sorts of bad data. It may not be just that symbol, it's the only one I have looked at. Some ticks have dates with bad years like 22010-MM-DD, 202010-MM-DD, 2012010-MM-DD, and 20102010-MM-DD. I'm also seeing some ticks with an incorrect number of fields like: 2010-08-04 10:08:12,1122.50,1,519776,513811,1123.75,1124.00,11823938,0,0 That tick has an extra field that shouldn't be there (looks like the volume got duplicated or something).

Did this just start happening today or has it happened in the past? What is the request you are using? If you re-request the data do you get the same data again? Are you making multiple requests to the feed at the same time?

It seems like mostly older dates (a week or two ago) when pulled from historical data. I'll have to wait till the end of the day so I can pull ticks that old, then I'll try refreshing from a fresh install of the platform and see how that goes. I'm just requesting one symbol at a time. I'm not sure what request the platform uses but I can find out. I have never seen this before so that's why I was thinking it might be the data itself but now I don't know.

programmer -Interested User- Posts: 35 Joined: Feb 3, 2010	Posted: Aug 18, 2010 11:46 AM Msg. 5 of 5 I think it's just a bug in the platform that was introduced with recent updates. I was able to recreate the problem just with last weeks data and it seemed somewhat random. Sorry for the noise but I think everything is working fine (or will be once they fix it ).
