I have created a data set for which I would like to download 5 days of 1-minute bars. The Data Manager is downloading 10 years of data. Is there a way to download only 5 days of bars?

Thank you.

No, sorry. This is by design.

For a DataSet that's correct, but for on-demand requests (symbol not in a DataSet) there's actually is one way around it - use Streaming. For example, if you don't already have the data for a symbol, a request is issued for the amount of data required for the chart.

Just wanted to add that it depends on data provider. MS123 data providers may ignore the starting date for various reasons. Fortunately, the on-demand trick should work with the FidelityStaticProvider.
