I contacted IQ tech support by phone and we were unable to determine what exactly "8 days"
means.

Is it 8 calendar days of data or 8 market days...all assumed it was 8 market days, but as of today we are only getting data back to 9/1 which is 5 market days....

if in fact is 8 "calendar days", that seems an odd choice, as it could drastically affect the actual number of days charted depending on holidays etc....

It was suggested there could possibly be other explainations....

Any clarification appreciated.

We support 8 calendar days of tick history. You are correct that a holiday will shorten the days.
Thank you
Mike
