One minute chart for more than a week

[arnonmoscona]

I am new to NJ. I used the historical data manager to import a couple of years of data at 1min resolution (from IQFeed). i can see in the edit tab, that I have the data in the system.

However when I show a chart for a symbol using 1min bars, it will only let me show data one week back. The chart does not let me data past one week back. i can see more in a day chart, but not in intraday resolution.

I am sure that I am missing something. How can I get a min chart all the way back to where I have data?

arnonmoscona,

I am happy to assist you.

If you go to your chart > right click > go to data series > you can set "Days to load" to whatever you want.

Please let me know if I may assist further.

Thanks. I missed that.
It seems to take a pretty long time to calculate custom indicators (not particularly complex ones) if I use something like 50 days...

arnonmoscona,

This is dependent on what types of charts you are using, how many chart are open, how many indicators are loading, your internet connection, etc. Keep in mind 50 days of minute data is like 30000 minutes (assuming 10 trading hours). It also takes time to download this data.

Here is a link to some performance tips : http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...ance_tips2.htm

Please let me know if I may assist further.

Thanks. I'll go through the performance tips. The data is already preloaded in this case (I downloaded 2 years of minute and about 1 month of tick data before starting)
