I do not track stocks with AB.
It depends on the activity of the stock. You'll have to
experiment. Set to a given number, and watch the size of the
data file. Once it reached a fixed size you have reached the
limit of bars.
View the resulting symbol how far back it goes.

Hi Joseph,
Thank you for your suggestions. I trade stocks and was
wondering what
I needed in terms of bars for a stock to provide a
reasonably long
chart. I use Esignal as my data provider at the moment. Any
and all
help is appreciated. Thank you.
Tim
