I see why. The market was closed half a day and IB shows 0 volume for that half day. Scottrade does this and it screws up the charting there too. Since that screws up the chart I guess I need to delete the period of inactivity. I used Quote Editor to delete the "bad" data for IWM and that fixed the problem. Is there a script program that will do this? If not I will try to write one. I'm sure I am not the only one with this problem. OR can this be done in AFL? That would be much faster than a script. If so are there examples of deleting selective data with AFL?
