Intraday EURJPY.. the first post was about EURUSD.. both loading for the first time.. but with EURJPY I specifically changed it to 1 days to load on chart settings, and it took about 15 minutes.. I would see pages and pages of hours scrolling by.. so individual days looked like they were loading fairly quickly - just many many days of data was loading.
Seems I can scroll back now to may 20th.
Very strange, anyhow I guess there would be no way for anyone here really to know what is going on. Guess I have to play with it some more.
I don't seem to have this problem on other currencies anymore but I made sure to change the historical look back on all charts for the current pair in the chartbook, even though they are not linked in anyway before switching them to a new pair
Since there is no "real" volume data for FX pairs there is really no reason to store tick data.
Go to Global Settings > Data/Trade Service Settings and change 'Intraday Data Storage Time Unit' to the lowest tolerable resolution. Your charts will load much faster if you store as multiple seconds or minutes instead of ticks.
Thanks to future.io policies I can't post a link to the documentation but you should read it. It's very thorough.
there might not be "real volume" but it is highly correlated when it is from a good source like FXCM.. some random broker though might be a different story. But FXCM data is even used by some of those expensive data feed sellers.
