    Is there a way to set the default units for a chart? I set my 2min charts to 50k units and save the workspace but every time I reload PRT they default back to 10k units.

    10k units / bars is the default maximum when reloading PRT.

    🙂

    But a default of 1M units / bars would also work when having a Premium subscription.

    What so with a Premium Subscription you can login to PRT and immediately see 1,000,000 bars … same as you left it when you logged out??

    default maximum when reloading PRT

    Or maybe you misread me when I said above?

    Thank you. I have a premium sub and I was wondering why it kept reverting back to 10k but that explains it.

    Yes Sir.
    Now you may understand how “rubbish” the remark would be that loading back 100K of bars would be wayyyy to heavy on the load of the server, because indeed the 1M loads back always as how it was left at closing PRT.

    but

    There still would be truth in such remark because no trade data can be present in formal history data (which the 1M data always is). So in case you don’t know : the chart loaded with 1M history data can not be used for trading. Thus, historical trades won’t pose overhead because they are omitted from history data.

    Now you know it all. 🙂

    One other gag : of course when I need 100K worth of bars and 10K is loaded by default, it would come down to loading 10K + 100K bars always. So the limitation is not really so smart. But alas.

    So it seems PeterSt can do something with his Premium sub that you can’t do with your Premium sub trwcapital ?

    It’s possible I could have it default to 1M units but that would take way too long to load each time I change symbols. I was just looking to get 50k units on a 2minute chart. I keep a rolling several month vwap on my 2min chart and if I don’t have enough data loaded it doesn’t calculate correctly. Even with 50k units it takes a few seconds to load though.
