Feature Request: Trading Sessions Ago as oppose to Days To Load

[ntbone]

When loading charts you can specify Days to load which uses Calendar days to load. This makes setting up charts, market analyzer columns,etc...difficult for US instruments or any others that don't trade on weekends.

If I have a chart set to load 3 days, and its Monday, I will only get Mondays data. If I then set it to 4 days, now I am loading an extra day I normally do not need. Further, if it happens to be a holiday weekend then I have to load 5 days of data to guarantee that I'll have the previous trading sessions data.

If I were to configure things for a fix # of bars this can also be a performance problem for Instruments that do not have data for every minute of a trading day. For US instruments a 1 minute chart will have 390 candles for a normal market data. If it has low volume, it will have less than 390 bars. For some instruments this could result in more than 10 days loaded and can take a lot longer to load the chart.

Feature Request: For smaller time frames like tick, second and minute it would be extremely helpful to have # of sessions to load instead of # of day to load.
