0 JamesKB2 Posted May 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 Is this something that can be implemented? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Jerry Medved Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 I can give you a version, but getting a year of data on intraday charts will use up a lot more memory, CPU, so I really wouldn't use it on 2CPU 7 gig systems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JamesKB2 Posted June 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Excellent. As I transition to a more powerful desktop (I'm on a laptop currently) it'll be fine. Honestly, for the most part, even with my rather low spec ancient system, MT works pretty well. Only occasionally do I suffer some lag or stuttering. My trading style requires a more detailed view of the underlying patterns vs the larger daily (they are repetitious in a "growing" magnitude way. I'm honestly having a little anxiety as the 120 day limit continues to erode my data set, getting closer to removing the "top" to current trend lines and patterns. This also brings me to a question. I plan on a multi-monitor rig (three screens) and am leaning to a Quadro for video. Compatible engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Jerry Medved Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 don't really need a high end graphics card. I set MT to be max 260 days for your account in next build so you can try. The sources that can backfill that much are dxFeed QuoteMedia IQFeed TD Ameritrade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JamesKB2 Posted June 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 Thanks for implementing my request for a higher daily cap. Although it's working for individual stocks, it's not back filling the ES. Which I don't believe is your fault, it appears that TD Ameritrade doesn't provide that tick data so far back. As an example of WHY I want / need this...is days like today. Fractal pattern repetition, although excruciatingly labor intensive to recognize, makes it almost like cheating when you can. I score over 150 in pattern recognition so...it's my edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
JamesKB2
It would be beneficial, even highly desirable, to have a higher daily cap rate for intra-day data, better than 120 days. 365 would be ideal. I realize that's a big data file, but larger moves require larger data sets.
