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.
