Number of Days to Load

[sgordet]

All of my charts make use of indicators which plot the highs and lows of the preceding week and the preceding month. I day trade using 5- and 15-minute bars. For all of my other indicator plots, 10 days would be more than sufficient. Do I need to set my "Days to Load" to 60 or, if I set it to 10 days, will NT pull from my database whatever additional data it needs to draw the plots?

Hello sgordet,

Thank you very much for your post.

Indicators are limited to the data the chart itself provides. This means if your chart is set to 10 days of data, every indicator on this chart would also only have these 10 days of data to function.

In this case, you would have to extend the "Days to Load" to include all data the indicator would require to run.

Please don't hesitate to let me know, should you have any further questions!
