When using SW for Intraday bars, ALWAYS use a TestProfile ... NEVER try to use a "RealTime" profile, since RT updates continually. There are plenty of other threads in this and other forums about Test Profiles, so I won't detail its use here. Nutshell ... it PRE-loads and stores whatever intraday bars you need into a LOCAL file, for later SW use.

Since a TP holds any intraday bars you need for SW, and since it is NOT running in a realtime environment, it can run on a separate machine, WHILE you are running OT with RT on your main machine. No extra exchange fees needed, since there is only ONE connection.
