The default number of bars loaded in an RTTESS Chart is 300
To load a chart with a different number of bars:
Click 'File'
Click 'IQfeed Real Time Chart'
Select the number of bars required.

The Maximum number of Bars that can be loaded in RTTESS is 32,000.
Loading large numbers of bars will cause the software to run slower.

The software requests data from the server by number of days.
This is an approximate calculation from the 'Number of Bars' requested when opening a new chart.
The calculation is also based on an approximate traded day of 12 hours.
Because of the 24 hour nature of the Forex market, requesting say 1000 bars will actually return more than 1000 bars.

An example of the Maximum Request limit for a 10 min FOREX chart is about 20,000 which will return just less than 32,000 bars
