Hello,

I subscribe to Historical Data Package 3. I understand Daily (EOD) downloads are capped at 50 per month while intraday downloads are unlimited.

1. Can you confirm this limit, and is it adjustable or extendable (paid add-on or otherwise), and on what terms?
2. How exactly is "one download" counted — per symbol, per request, or per date range? If I request several years of history for one contract in a single request, is that one download or several?
3. I need Daily data (incl. Open Interest) for several hundred individual futures outright contract months across a few root symbols. Is there a more efficient way to retrieve this in bulk, rather than one download per contract?

Thank you.

The download limit is capped at 5000, not 50. It is 50 when you are on a Trial.

1. You can pay $25.00 per month to change to 50,000 downloads. You will find this control at the following link:

2. One download is defined as a single request. So several years of data for one contract is a single request and counts as 1 download.

3. There is not a "more efficient" way to do this. Each contract will count as a single download.
