As you know from previous messages I now have a lot of charts with tick data that go back years(because now at these low levels that's where the new levels from old prices come). Anyway, it now takes forever(say 5-10min) in the morning to load up the chartbooks when I restart for the day. Is that just a function of all the data loading? I would have thought once it was loaded it was there, but I guess not. Also, you know I have a very zippy high-powered computer(Leo from OFL created specs for Dell) so it's not that, nor my internet as I have 500-1000mg fibre. Also, the same thing happens when the computer goes to sleep(say I take the dog for a walk and it goes to sleep after 15min of no use) when I call it back up the hourglass comes on and it takes 5min to reload. So is all that normal because I have such heavy heavy charts? Any suggestions? The thing is I use the charts all the time so I have to have them up.

don't be mad, I tried, but look at that link. Nowhere does it tell me how to get to that box called 'intraday data...' normally you have the steps with >> in them. Also, when I get there do I just copy those settings in the example? so 180 days, and 4 seconds? Sorry, John, you know how stupid I am. Karen thank you! |

We apologize. That documentation page was separated from another page which specified the location of that Window. The new page did not have this. It is now updated.

sorry, I am not sure WHEN I use this. Is this something that must be done every day when I log on and things are taking forever to load, OR, As it doesn't seem like it's a one-off thing, I do that will make everything load fast in future? sorry but I am pretty stupid... thanks guys, Karen |

You do not need to do it every day. It would be something that would be good to do once a month if you can remember. But worst case is to remember to do it when loading becomes slow again.
