How to Lift Limitation on Bars Per Day?
How to Lift Limitation on Bars Per Day?
There appears to be a 1,000,000 bar limit on bars per trading interval (i.e. per day of trading). Some very active symbols can currently exceed this, resulting in the first part of each day being dropped from the chart when it is reloaded. What registry entry do I change to correct this?

The issue is not the maximum bars per chart but the maximum bars per DAY or trading session. I already have HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TS Support\MultiCharts\Shaper\MaxBarsCount at 20,000,000; the limit of 1,000,000 bars per DAY (ie trading session) remains regardless.

What is the instrument?

It does not crash your software. In fact it runs in real time (I have very fast overclocked PCs), without dropping any bars. The issue arises when I then try to reload the chart for backtesting and analysis.

I also would note that the bar cap per day, each and every day, is EXACTLY 1,000,000 bars; which indicates it is coded somewhere as an express limit. That is why I asked for the registry entry I could change to raise this cap. I need something upwards of 3,000,000.
