not in Real-time, but in my database that goes from last July till
last week).

QCollector. Hence, I am running on a local database and what takes
like 3-4 seconds is scrolling through the 1-minute bars. Let's say
it is Day 1 at 11:00 and I want to scroll back to Day 0, I use my
mouse wheel but for 3-4 seconds the images does not move at all, then
I hear my computer loading, then I see the bars before. Is there a
way to make that faster?

Loading (i.e. switching between symbols) is INSTANT.
