"This is an excellent value, the system is generous (allowing for 500 stocks) and stable (and really is tick-by-tick), and the support is fantastic." - Comment from Shirin via Email

"Just a quick one to say I'm very impressed so far :) The documentation for developers is excellent and I've quickly managed to get an app written to do historical downloads. The system is very robust and pretty quick considering the extent of data that's available. The support guys have been very helpful too, in combination with the forums it's been plain sailing so far!" - Comment from Adam

Author	Topic: HIT: Missing data or data compression? (4 messages, Page 1 of 1)
shanezilla -Interested User- Posts: 3 Joined: Jun 11, 2020	Posted: Jul 16, 2020 04:36 PM Msg. 1 of 4 I have been using the HIT command to retrieve historical 1-min (60 second) data and I have come across a scenario where the time sequence skips. Specifically, for the ESH10 contract the retrieved 1-min data skips from ESH10 "2010-01-03 17:46:00" to "2010-01-03 17:48:00". Bypassing "2010-01-03 17:47:00". Is this missing data? Or is this a data compression technique of some sort? Missing bar = previous bar? Thanks, Shane

For this reason you often see many such gaps in non-trading hours, but sometimes also during the trading day. Naturally, the wider that your requested interval bar size is, the less likely this is to happen.

If no data exists for a specified time period, the API will omit it from the response. There were no transactions for this symbol in the minute of 2010-01-03 17:47:00, so no record is created.
