You need a program that can handle the tick bars better. I use tick
charts all the time and don't really need more then a few months but
it is easy to load say AAPL on a 1 tick basis which immediately pops
up over a million bars before it starts downloading more data. The
limit I run into is Windows only works one process up to something
over 1 gig before windows blows up. Now I don't use 1 tick charts but
it looked like a good way to see if there was some limit. Clearly
not, but I did get a memory warning as I had several charts open in
that process already when it got up to about 1.1 million bars.

In the TS 8.x cache file there are only 3 data files, eod, min, and tik.
Evidently all intarday intervals above 1 min. are constructed from 1
min. data and are not saved but reconstructed when the higher interval
chart or RS is loaded again. I do not have the forum urls bookmarked
for discussions on this topic that I have read but see following and the
links there in.

TS 8.X RS is not stable using large amounts of data as TS2000i RS is
(both are suppose to handle upto 65,555 bars) . TS 8.X RS seems to work
only for 1000 - 5000 bars or less and might have a chance of stability
if 5 times fewer bars were need for a give time period by using 5 minute
data.
I use linear regression channels on weekly data and this can require 8
months of data for a number of stocks (back to March '09, e.g. AAPL). I
use RS in TS 2000i with a 15 minute interval to create weekly synthetic
bars using arrays and 8 months of data requires 5000 15miniute bars.
This is only 15000 data of 5minute data which number TS 8.x RS is
suppose to be able to handled but does not.
I can not use this array indicator in TS 8.X as 8 months of data using 1
minute bars would be 75,000 bars which is out of range for RS.
Fortunately, with a GV, calculations from a 8 month weekly RS (made from
50 daily data) can be feed into a 15 minute RS (30 bars made from
5minuite data).
