Hello,

Simply you have incorrect settings.

If you are using eSignal and want to have long daily histories along with intraday histories,
please do the following:

1. go to File->Database Settings
2. Enter 90000 (90 thousands) into "Number of bars to load"
3. click on "Intraday Settings" button
4. make sure that "Allow mixed EOD/Intraday data" box is CHECKED

If you use eSignal as a data source you should not use AmiQuote to update
it because you may get data discrepancies because of two different sources.

If you already messed up previous database, I suggest to simply create NEW one
with above settings.

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
