Once the data is downloaded you can display intraday charts using any timeframe equal or higher than one minute.
After you open the downloader, there are two fields you can update:
Symbols: Allow you to specify the stocks to use to download intraday data. The downloader will make a request for each stock, parse the result and insert it in into the intraday database.
Number of past days: Specify the number of past days intraday data (1 minute snapshot - Backfill) to download. You can download up to 15 days of intraday data.

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.
