The amount of Historical Intraday data that will actually be downloaded for a symbol depends upon the last Date-Time in the Intraday data file. If the file is empty and is therefore a new Intraday data file, then the Maximum Historical Intraday Days to Download settings will exactly control the number of days downloaded, assuming the server has the same amount of data available. If this setting is set to 90, but the file was only missing 1 day of data from the last Date-Time in the file to the present time, then only 1 day of data will be downloaded.

In the case of Intraday charts, when historical data is being downloaded into the chart, then additional data will be loaded into the chart beyond what was initially loaded from the local data file on your system. Therefore, the Days to Load setting will get exceeded. When the historical Intraday data download is complete for the symbol, if you want to have no more days in the chart than the Days to Load setting, then select Chart >> Reload and Recalculate on the menu to load only the Days to Load .

This setting does not control how many days of data are downloaded from the remote data service. In the case of Historical Daily data, all historical Daily data available is downloaded from the data service. In the case of Intraday data, this is controlled through the Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Maximum Historical Intraday Days to Download settings.
