Downloading and Retaining Data

Investor/RT's automatic backfill is designed to keep daily and intra-day historical data up to date automatically without user involvement. Generally speaking, if you track fewer than 100 symbols, all historical data management should simply be done for you; there should not be a need to manually perform data downloading operations.

Users who track many hundreds or thousands of symbols are exceptional cases where a higher degree of user involvement is required to keep your historical data current.

Split Sessions for the Volume Profile Indicator

This page discusses the "3 Sessions" and "Split Session" options available as custom duration inputs for the "Time per Profile" settings of the Profile Indicator. It is fully valid both in the case you use the Profile Indicator to display a "Volume Profile" or simulate a TPO chart (by using the "Price and Time" option together with a 30 minutes chart periodicity).We will both discuss about

  • the "3 Sessions" option which allows the user to display 3 profiles on a full session charts, knowing that the "Per 1" (Period 1) input corresponds to the 1st period duration in minutes (usually the Overnight Session) while the "Per 2" minutes input, located on the right part of the setting window, corresponds to the Duration in Minutes of the second session (Typically the Day session)
  • the "Split Session" option that doesn t require any Period input as the instrumlent Full session "Split Time" is the start of the Day session
