Does it help if you adjust the settings for intraday data at
Tools >> Preferences >> Intraday >> Alignment and Timestamp?
Personally I like my intraday basetime to be 1 min as a trade off
between accuracy and data download/storage volumes ...... IMO finer
granularity gives you a sharper picture i.e. I would like to go
lower, to help avoid the type of issues you are having, and the only
reason I don't is because my computer and my computer skills are
average (1 min is recommended by AB).
I have used 1 min databases and 'tuned' the database settings to
get them spot on so that I can work quite happily in daily timeframe
by simply using compression ... it works beautifully and for me it is
better than using eS in mixed EOD/intraday mode because
the 'compressed' daily Highs & Lows tehn correspond well with the
intraday patterns.
I don't mix EOD/intraday because eS EOD is adjusted and intraday is
not.... so it is worth persevering with the settings.
