Quickly Changing chart Timeframes without reloading entire chart history

Hello,

I'd like to be able to change chart time frames without having to reload the entire chart history. For example, I have a 4hr continuous contract /ES chart for a 5000 day period of time. I'd like to change that chart to a smaller time frame without having to wait the 2-3 minutes it takes to reload the entire 5000 day period. So, if select 30 minute time frame, is there a way to set it so it only loads 90 days of data? Or, is there any other way to speed change of time frames within a chart that has a long history?

Thank you,

Mike Beck

To improve the speed of loading data, refer to this particular section:
Changing Chart Bars Period: Improving Performance of Loading Chart Data


Also refer to this particular setting:
Chart Settings: Adjust Proportional With Bar Period (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting >> Load Data Limiting Method: Days to Load menu)

Thank you for the quick response.

Ultimately, the fix ended up being checking the box next to "adjust proportional with bar period."

Thank you
