Tomasz, Thanks. However, I was referring to a daily database where there is no intraday data at all. If you had a minute database, then what is the purpose of using Mixed EOD/intraday? You can simply click on daily timeframe, right? I must be missing something here. -- Terry

Incorrect. As far as mixed EOD/intraday mode is considered, intraday data ARE saved together with EOD data. This mode allows 1-minute (and any higher interval) charts (120+ days) plus long (9 years) EOD histories from the same database using just 90000 bars. Mixed EOD/intraday is available with eSignal as data source and "Mixed EOD/Intraday" option selected in File->Database Settings->Intraday Settings.
