Is it possible to load more historical data for only one symbol from my quote board?

Sometimes I need to go pretty far back to find what I'm looking for. Hence, as it's just sometimes, I don't want to have a ton of downloaded historical data for all symbols I'm looking at, but rather I'd like to download more as necessary and just for the symbol I need to. I know that's possible on Tradestation, but couldn't find anything on that in support articles for Sierra.

We are not really understanding what you are wanting to do with the Quote Board. If the symbol is not longer traded, then you will not get any information in the quote board.

Sorry if mentioning the quote board was confusing. Just forget about it. Basically, can you download historical data for only one symbol?

If I go to Chart settings-data limiting, it downloads the same amount of data for all symbols. Occasionally I need more data, but just for one symbol. Is it possible to download more data, but just for a symbol?

The Chart Settings only apply to the symbol for the chart for which you are modifying them at that time. So it only applies to a single symbol. Refer to the following for how to get more Intraday data:
Historical Intraday Data (Missing Data / Download Errors / Viewing More Data): Downloading/Viewing More Historical Intraday Data

One of the few reasons why changing the Data Limiting parameters for a symbol and having it change for other symbols is if the charts are linked for the "Days to Load". Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Chart Linking >> Days to Load (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Linking menu)
