I've been having a problem with bad data appearing in AB (abnormally high volume or wrong OHLC) in AB when I perform an "Explore" from the "Automatic Analysis" on a large number of symbols (>1500) when I have "wait for backfill" checked even for something as simple as filter=C>O.
Fortunately the bad data points are very easy to identify and seem to occur on the same days for the affected symbols and since I haven't been able to resolve it, I've sort of learned to live with it (Note, I don't get any bad data in QuoteTracker running on the same machine using the same RT data feed so I'm pretty sure it's in AB). Anyway, when I see the bad data, I right click on the "Plug-in Status" area of the status bar and do a "Force Backfill" and all the data is correctly filled in. My question is, is there an easier way, either from the menu (so I can setup a macro) or better yet, via some code/formula that will 1. Keep all the symbols but delete all the EOD and RT data 2. Automatically "Force Backfill" from my RT feed? If someone has an idea on what's causing the problem in the first place, that would be helpful too but I've posted this regarding this problem before and haven't seen a solution so I'm guessing I'm a unique case. I've also tried flushing the DB cache and playing around with different database parameters, in-memory cache size, setting up a new database etc. Thanks.
