Do any of you have any routines for checking to ensure the integrity of data? For example, I noticed last night a hole in my daily bar data from FXDD on June 22nd (incomplete data for that day) which completely threw off the pivot levels for the next day. Fixing that made the levels work perfectly.

I was thinking of a script or EA which would check the daily bars and send out an alert (email to admin) if the volume on the day was significantly lower than the average. I'd then go in a manually examine the situation and make any corrections as needed. Such a check would have easily caught the problem with the data described above.

Just curious how you go about dealing with data integrity.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Strings: Table of ASCII Symbols and Its Use

In this article we will analyze the table of ASCII symbols and the ways it can be used. We will also deal with some new functions, the principle of operation of which is based on the peculiarities of the ASCII table, and then we will create a new library, which will include these functions. They are quite popular in other programming languages, but they are not included into the list of built-in functions. Besides, we will examine in details the basics of working with strings. So, I think you will certainly learn something new about this useful type of data.

Follow up on this. Well, even though I manually fixed the data, looks like it reverts back to the wrong data when the platform is re-launched. How do I prevent this? I've notified the broker about the bad data, but, I need to be able to work off of the correct data. Do I fix the data and then only work offline untilt the broker fixes the bad bar?
