I was unsophisticated enough to do it the same way, for all of them >>

But I made a workspace with a scanner and 3 different charts for tick, min & daily data and linked them. If someone has a better idea please share, so I'm not that ..... again.

Regards

Ben

Data history may depend from your data supplier rules. You may be limited to a numbers of bars.

To get the history,
1 create a workspace with your instrument
2 Select "format instrument"
3 choose your starting date

You may create one workspace with one instrument and repeat the process for each.

A very low scale like 1 min back 9 years will create a huge file.
1 X 60 X 24 X 7 X 52 X 9 = 4 717 440 BARS .

I personalty try to not go over 2000 per instrument
