Some questions reg Intraday data download and export
1) I was able to successfully download intraday 1-minute data for some US stock symbols using the Intraday File Update List (my directory shows sid files of 8MB) but for others (e.g. ADBE, etc), it has stalled - sid file is only 1K large.
- Is there something i missed in the settings .. See log file attached with error messages and pl advise - Except for the last few symbols, i'm within the 200 downloads/day limit.

2) Every time i export intraday data using Write Bar to Text study, I need to update the Chart TimeZone to NY Eastern Time. Can i change the Chart TimeZone from Global Time to NY time as default, so i don't have to change this setting each time?

3) Is there a way to limit the data export to only Market Hours i.e. prevent the Outside hours data from exporting?

4) The Spreadsheet method "Spreadssheet->Edit->Export Intraday Data to TExt file" doesn't seem to work as it doesn't prompt me for a text file location, so not sure if it has exported and where? I checked the Data directory and there is no txt file. Is there some setting i'm missing to make this work?

5) Finally, is there a faster way to bulk-export intraday data for 100 symbols - both Write Bar and the Spreadsheet methods are manual and require opening a chart for each symbol, 1 at a time?

6) How do i draw Volume on the Charts? It is only showing Price Candles and i didn't see a Chart Setting to draw Volume in addition to Price Candles. (The Price Volume Bars option doesn't do it).

thanks
Kiran

1. You already hit the limit. There is a tighter restriction for trials.
HD Request # 306 | Error downloading historical Intraday data for YHOO. Not downloading any data. Maximum downloads exceeded for the day. Limit: 200 | 2015-04-28 20:55:15 *

Intraday data requires multiple data requests per symbol.

2, 3. Set up the chart as you require and then export the data with this command:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_EditMenu.html#ExportBarDatatoText

You can duplicate that chart. Here are instructions:

4. This command does not exist.

5. No.

6. Refer to this page to add the Volume study:
