Doing exact the same In NT8 I get data only back to somewhere in the 1980's for monthly charts, and an empty chart when switching to quarterly.
At the beginning I had the same issue with the S&P 500-Index; chart in NT8 only started to populate after I reduced the number of bars to show significantly, changing the setting from 2000 or 5000 bars down to 800 or so. Additional problem here is that not all monthly bars are loaded completely. Behavior is like:
- open chart for 800 bars, let "all" data be loaded
- click on [Home] button on keyboard to jump to the beginning of the data
- chart will jump only back to 1986 or so
- more data will start to load NOW
- click [home] again, chart will jump back to 1960
- more data will start to load NOW
- click [home] again and you get to earliest available S&P-index data from Yahoo (mid 1950'ies)
So, to summarize:
- Dow-Index monthly chart shows only about 30 years while almost 90 years of data would be available from Yahoo
- Quarterly charts fail to show anything at all for the Dow-Index
- monthly charts for S&P 500-index load in parts, slowing down each time
All of this works fine and flawless in NT7
