I have just installed the intraday data on Stock Finder - is there a way to see 1 minute bars more than 5000 bars? the disk has data to 2003

If you right-click on Price History and select Block Diagram, there should be Block called Prices. This Block should have an unconnected Output Limit input. If you left-click and Drag on this input, you can select Select Block & Connect | Parameter: Length Limit to add an option for the number of Bars of data used for the Price History Indicator.

This will allow you to exceed the 5000 Bar Limit, but you will generally need to adjust the Block Diagrams of any Indicators with Price or Volume Blocks in them individually.

That said, the 5000 Bar Limit is there for a reason. It should be strongly noted that this can dramatically affect the performance of StockFinder and slow things down significantly because of the additional memory used and calculations required. If things slow down too much, the first thing you should try is to decrease the Length Limit or avoid using this workaround altogether.

I feel like an idiot. How do I download current prices (June 5 th is last update I have). And, why is everything seemingly re-setting every 5 seconds?

dbrown,

With StockFinder, you don't have to do anything except be hooked up to the internet to update data. The data manager runs in the background all the time keeping you current on the basis of your subscription. You might be well served to call Tech Support at 919.408.0542 (Hours: 9-9 EST weekdays; 9-3 EST weekends) and have them check your setup.
