In addition to downloading directly from an open chart, you can also download long time periods or history for an entire quote page from the Download Data screen.
- Download Type: Unless you have a Dial/Data or myTrack account, you will generally need to choose "Historical Quotes" for this option.
- Periodicity: Specify here which periodicity of data you would like to download. Your may download 1-minute bars, daily bars, etc.
- From and To: Here, you specify the range of date/times for which you would like to download.
- One Instrument / QuotePage: If you check the "One Instrument" checkbox, then you will need to specify a single symbol for which you would like to download. If this checkbox is unchecked, you will need to select the quotepage on the left on which you would like to download data.
- Source: If you have a Dial/Data account, you will likely want to use it for downloading daily data, otherwise, you will just use your realtime data service for all historical downloads.
