Ah ok that makes sense thanks. I thought I had numbers bars before with 1 Second, but I guess not. But here's my issue now. I need numbers bars for trading but I don't need numbers bars/tick history going back further than a day or two. And if I have 1 tick history for the es contract + back contracts going back hundreds of days then the file is too big/slow to reload every time I change the time period setting on a chart (e.g. have a look at 5 min bars before going back to 1 min bars). So I need to remove the numbers bars study, change the setting to 1 second and download the full history. Then put the numbers bars study back for trading with 1 tick data strored going forward. Then every few days/weeks take it off and repeat the whole process so the data files don't get too big. Is there a better workaround? Seems a bit of a cumbersome process ...
