When done, open the downloader manager (Download -> Download Manager), select "Historical Tick Data for U.S. Stocks" then start the download item.
Note: In the downloader, there is an "NbDays" tab. There, you can specify the number of trading days worth of tick data to download for all selected ticker symbols. The maximum value of this field is 20.
If you want to get only the latest data (today and yesterday) then set "NbDays" value to 2.
If you want to get only today's data then set "NbDays" value to 1.
Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
