Quote Bars

You may choose how much data to download. See QuoteBars1.

If you choose quote bars = 0, then you will get all the data available.

Here are some statistics from activity.txt:

Note the following:

It took 10 seconds to log on to MyTrack. This is okay, as their program takes much longer. But this time is very noticeable!

0.1 sec to open Contracts Table. This is fine, as it takes time to build up the screen display.

0.04 sec to build the memory database. I had 21 contracts. This is fine. For real time updates, one would not have more than a few hundred at the most, and the time is still less than a second. Faster than you can blink.

Quote bars = 0. It gets 255 bars of data at a time. This is about a year's worth. Basically, it takes 5-10 seconds a year. This a long time. Normally you will not do this. You need to choose a small number for quote bars.
