Question

 How do I setup a schedule to automatically download data?
   

Answer

 Automatic downloads can be done by creating a "schedule". Choose Setup: Schedule.  Click here to read more about Schedules.  Schedules can have 1 or more "actions". One of the actions is "Download Data" (actions are listed alphabetically). It's very simple and logical.  You specify the quotepage (list of symbols) which you'd like data download for, the Server (eSignal, myTrack, Dial/Data, etc), the periodicity (Tick, 1 Minute, or Daily), and the period (last 2 days, last 10 minutes, etc.).
