You are using incorrect terminology. The "Bar Period" is the amount of time (or whatever) that is contained within a single bar.

We assume you want to see 1 years worth of data, but what is the actual Bar Period that you want to use? 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 1 day, 1 week, etc? In other words, how many bars do you want to view that make up that one year of data?

Once you can answer the above, then we can tell you how to set it up. But do not refer to the "Bar Period" as the amount of time you want view overall in the chart.

If you are wanting something else, then we are really not understanding what it is you want.
