If I add symbols to a quote board that I haven't previously opened in a chart it doesn't trigger the data to get downloaded?

Do I have to physically open a chart to trigger the data download in order to get data to populate the quote board?

And if so does that chart have to remain open for the quote board to stay updated thereafter?

my favorite thing about the quoteboard is it doesn't download data

The Quote Board, is not dependent on charts or historical data. You are only assured of getting data on the Quote Board when the markets are open.
