Hi,
I am not sure if I understand exactly the
statement below.
If I use IB as data source, does the “default
number of quotations in chart”
(Tools | Preferences | charting) set also the number of backfilled bars?
BTW I am using a tick based database and all
the option for “backfill length”
are grayed out but 5days is checked. I am assuming this is normal?

Hello,
This setting
matters ONLY if you use plugins and
it specifies
MAXIMUM number of bars per symbol.
If you do
not use plugin (external data source) then number of bars is unlimited.
Best
