Hi,

I see Forex intraday data like EURUSD or GBPUSD only back a few days although I use 365 days to load for intraday chart type. Why?

Daily or weekly data of the same symbol is available since 1995.

Refer to the following:
Loading More Or Less Data into an Intraday Chart

Also, set "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Continuous Futures Contract" to "None" for the chart you show in the image and any other FOREX charts, as these do not use this feature.

But Continuous Futures Contract is set to none and I use 365 days to load for intraday chart type. Even Delete All Data and Download does not help

When you compare both charts I'm now even missing a bit more data at the left compared to my first screenshot

How does it look on your side? Do you see data beyond 2-13? for EURUSD? 40 days of data to load should be enough to see data before 2-13

Sorry my fault! I thought the "1-Tick Data" setting in the global settings is the initial limiting factor for new charts and with "days to load for intraday chart type" I can overrule the global setting on indiviual charts. But it seems if "1-Tick Data" is set to eg. 10 days you cannot go beyond this value on indiviual charts regardless what you define in "days to load for intraday chart type". Correct?
