| + | ===== Downloading data ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The download option allows you to retrieve the historical tick data from the remote web servers and store it locally on your drive. When you select this option, you will be asked for the time range of the data to download. You can either select a specific begin and end date, or you can simply select the "quick pick" options such as "Last 1 year" which automatically set the begin and end dates to download data for the past year. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Once you select "OK", the system will automatically start downloading information. The system automatically verifies all the data and will automatically fill any gaps with the following rules: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * If the data already exists on your local drive, it will not try to download it again. If the data does not exist on your local drive, it will download it and store in its native compressed format. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * If the data is corrupted for any reason, the file will be automatically downloaded again (an error message will be displayed). | ||
| + | |||
| + | * If there are any other errors while downloading, these will be displayed in the "Log" box. See the "Trouble-shooting" section for more information on understanding errors you may see in this box. | ||
| + | |||
| + | As your data is downloading, it will display information detailing its current progress. While it is doing this, you can still continue to work with other symbols. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Cancelling a download or export operation ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you wish to cancel an operation (such as a download or export) right-click on the symbol and select 'Stop processing'. | ||
