Hi John,

I don't think you can go beyond 30000 bars in the database settings.
I tried and it doesn't work, as I think is also explained in AB 
manual.

Backfill is 30000 bars, but what I want is to store new data in real 
time, so that over time there are more than 30000 bars.
Right now I can only get the last 30000, so that for each new bar one 
is loss from at the beginning of the database (oldest data are loss)
Can you accumulate more than a month of 1 minute data the way you 
said?

Thanks

Ly
