I am a new TS 2000i user (but a long time TS 7.x amd 8.x user. On a different computer I have installed TS 2000i along with the eSignal Plug-in (both latest releases). I did not use the old 25 year historical CD that came with TS, and don't even know where that is at now.
In the Global Server I have listed 2 stocks and 3 future contracts. I am able to get Interday candles or bars (5min, etc.) but only 1 daily candle or bar.
Can someone give me the procedure (starting within the Global Server) what I need to actually be doing to get not only 1 min, 5 min, etc., but also daily, weekly and monthly candles and bars to appear in the Chart Window? I assume the issue is I am perhaps not setting the correct range of dates to download historical data, etc. As a test I tried downloading like 3 months of data, but that seemed to have no impact on a daily chart.
Also, I am interested in speed of loading charts. Am I correct in assuming I only need to download 1 min data, and not tick data?
Finally, once I get this all working (assume I am talking about 30 minutes charts) and I turn the computer on at like 10am (est) and bring up a chart of MSFT. Would there be gaps in candles missing from the last time I was logged in? Is so, how do you keep this up to date all the time?
Thanks in advance for any help.
