Update. It has nothing to do with Internet settings or sierra. From Rithmic support, I supposedly hit my rithmic historical data cap for the week- 40gb a week. This never happened before and I didnt change any chart layouts. Could it be the frequent "delete data and download" use that made it reach the cap? For the future. Could using "high supression" on chart instances help with this? (I have 4 instances always running). Is there other settings I could turn on to prevent hitting the cap? From Rithmic: Our users are limited to 40 Gigabytes per week of historical data, beginning on Sunday morning. There may be a couple of factors at play, so keep in mind the following: 1. The typical R | Trader Pro user uses less than 100 Megabytes in a week to load charts, even if they load a chart going back to 2011. 2. Some programs will not make the most efficient use of calls to our database. So for example, if you are looking at 180 days (about 6 months) of data, you are looking at what we call a Daily Bar. We support calls to our database to get Daily Bars, but some programs download raw ticks (which could be millions of messages per day) just to create a Daily Bar, instead of asking for the compressed bar from our server. What gets written to disk in this case might be much less than what is pulled from the server. 3. Some programs have errors, where they might ask for a million ticks, and then ask for the same ticks again, and again, and again. In such cases, we must defend our system as such requests can crowd our other customers out of the system. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-09-04 14:18:06
