However, a watchout with this advice is that if you wish to "build-up"
your data so you eventually can backtest more than 60 days worth of
data, you need to set the number to a very high value. TJ will come
back and reply that this will degrade performance somewhat, but I have
never really noticed any degradation on my system. Nonetheless, the
program is set up with a first-in, first-out model and after you exceed
the number of data points to save, the oldest data starts to get deleted
automatically by the program. There is approx 102,000 datapoints in one
year of 1 min data.

PS: if the new program versions are different in this regard (they do
not delete data on FIFO basis, then I would like to know about it.
PSS: I have been collecting data since last May (2002) on approx 1500
symbols. I have missed a number of dates but right now the entire
eSignal directory is holding 775Mbytes. Large HDs are a requirement.

Hello,
500'000 is far too much for 60 days.
60 days for stocks represents about 30'000 bars.
So it is enough to enter say 40'000 with enough
'safety margin'.
Best regards,
