Dear Support,

Could you assist me with the following issue?

To perform certain calculations on historical charts, I use the setting Chart Settings > Chart Data > Allow Real-Time Updating of Historical Chart set to NO. This is to ensure that the currently developing bar for the current day is not displayed.

This works perfectly when the displayed symbol is a futures contract. However, when I try to disable the same option on a chart displaying the historical data of a Forex or Crypto symbol, the chart still shows partial data for the current day and does not exclude it completely.

Could you please advise on how to fix this issue?

For your reference, I’ve attached two screenshots:

One showing the historical daily chart of USDCHF with the option enabled and another showing the same chart with the option disabled.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

There is definitively no way to stop this because the Historical Daily data on the server is updated periodically for Forex and Crypto symbols and also Market Statistics symbols. This is just how it is. Disabling that option will not remove the most recent bar and the documentation does not say that.
