Is there a way to download historical data from a data feed without having to use the Real-Time Market Scanner? For feeds which provide historical data, say for the last 30 days, this is quite an inefficient way to download these symbols.
Five minutes ago I just shut down MCDT and the Real-Time Market Scanner with 40 symbols, and 'tsServer.exe' is still running with well over 600 mb memory usage and > 30% CPU usage.
Can these symbols be downloaded in a somewhat more efficient way, such as the Download Manager from a competing trading platform, which loops through a list of symbols and download one at a time. Or am I doing something wrong?
Regards,

Re: Download historical data
Hi,
You do not need to use the Real-Time Market Scanner to download data. For a data feed that provides historical backfill of let's say 30 days, you just need to create a chart once every 30 days, and ask for 30 days back. The data will be loaded, and once you close MC it will be saved to your local data base. It's one a per-need basis.
