one tick chart - data available

[dloomis]

If I set up a es #f, 1T chart with a Time Template of 8 days, does the 8 days of data get downloaded into the chart automatically?

Seems like only about 3 days of tick days is arriving and then the data for the other days never arrives.

Am i missing something simple here?

hmmm, i wonder if there is a limit of 1,000,000 bars per chart, i counted them and seems like i have 999,999.

Probably missed a few in the mid 800,000s but i think i got 'em all

In general, the request for data is "aware" of the amount of data needed to fill the active chart window so results will vary. One thing you can try is open a chart, then check Data Export. That'll show how many bars were loaded. Scroll back in time in the chart and check Data Export again. With 1T, looks like it's loading 1500 bars with each new attempt to scroll backwards.

Thanks.

I did some checking and it appears every time there are more than 1,000,000 ticks (bars) on an ES #F,1T chart, the chart wont update any more. Here is the efs i am using to see how many days of data is loaded


function preMain() {debugClear();
setPriceStudy(true);
}

function main() {

if ( getDay(0) != getDay(-1) ) {
debugPrintln(getDay(0));
debugPrintln("")}
return }
