Post From: Symbol Data Limiting Period in Chart Settings Ignored

Reduce this setting:

Also in the case of Continuous Futures Contract charts which you may be using, when there is a need for data for a particular symbol, all the active days for a particular contract month are downloaded. Set this particular setting to None:
Continuous Futures Contract Charts: Continuous Futures Contract Rollover Options

This is because the symbols are different.:
And it gets even worse: When I then switched back to Rithmic (for order routing, only, no data feed!), the downloading started again!!
What is this?? Will it ever stop? It's insane!


But only after activating "Reload and Recalculate" on each individual chart, I could reduce the days the data is shown in the past.
Yes that is true and is documented here:
Chart Settings: Days to Load for Intraday Chart Data Type (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting >> Load Data Limiting Method: Days to Load menu)
