refresh before the 60 day limit is reached, otherwise you will have
some gaps. With a bit of organization, not a problem.

creating it, I had the settings set to EOD to collect as much of
that as possible. Then switched to 1 minute interval, and backfilled
the 60 days for all 50 stocks. This works well for me, as the
regression lines for EOD are accurate, for Hourly, rarely does a
regression line want to go back more than 60 days, and never for
minute intervals. So the in one set of 50, I can do almost all I
want to do. The advantage of this is you can use the intraday real-
time, but drop back to a larger view with full EOD data. Much faster
than keeping 2 copies open, one for EOD and one for Intraday. And
of course you can keep other much larger EOD databases for
evaluations etc, for after hours checks and screening.

Tomasz may add some cabability to make a supported form of this
approach, or accomplish the same thing with some additional code. In
any event, using eSignal in RT mode works well, as described above.

switch back to your smallest interval for the backfill and normal
use. And you can always delete a symbol, and add a different one.
I believe quite a few of us actually only track a few stocks real-
time, since familiarity with a particular stock/company is an
advantage, certainly from my experience.
