Post From: downloaded DATA - the most critical element

IF Intraday Data Storage Time Unit is set to 1 Tick THEN I can ONLY download tick data and SC doesn't even look at "non-tick" days setting field and there will be no other intraday data downloaded.
Yes this is correct.


similarly, IF Intraday Data Storage Time Unit is set to anything else from 1-tick, like 1-min THEN there will be NO tick data dowloaded as SC doesn't look at "1-tick" days setting.
Yes this is correct.


1. Does Chart Setting>Days to load override chart download data setting from Data/Trade Service Settings so It loads more that specified there?
No. But refer to this setting:

2. Why using Continues Contract I can not set the chart settings to load from exact date? That's the key issue for Volume Profiling.
You can. Refer to the Chart Settings:
Chart Settings


3. Is there a manual work around to have last 100 days of 1-tick data and 1000 days of intraday 1min data?
This has been answered in the prior post.

Please understand that we are very busy and all of these questions are a burden on us. There should not be a need for all of these questions.
