Topic: Data Horizon - Maximum number of Bars.

I'd like to load more than 50k bars, which is where it is capped at.  hmm

Cheers.

Re: Data Horizon - Maximum number of Bars.

Try:
(install folder)\Forex Strategy Builder\System\config.xml

then change <MAX_BARS> from 50000 to something higher. Should be the 3rd or 4th line, at the top.

Re: Data Horizon - Maximum number of Bars.

To overcome 50 000 bars limit in FSB open System/config.xml file and set desired numbers.
On the example below the limits are set to 200000.
After changing values, go to the Data Horizon tool and change the settings.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
  <MIN_BARS>300</MIN_BARS>
  <MAX_BARS>200000</MAX_BARS>
  <MAX_INTRA_BARS>200000</MAX_INTRA_BARS>

Loading bigger data file will slow FSB and will increase memory usage.

...
Edit:
Hmmm. Krog was faster than me this time...

Your data file is not big enough, I suspect.

Re: Data Horizon - Maximum number of Bars.

Sorry for dragging up an old post, however I can't find the config.xml file - does it still exist in the current version?  If not, how do I increase the maximum number of bars?
