Dear QC Community,
I hope this message finds you well. I have reviewed the documentation and I am seeking further clarification on the subject of increasing chart quotas, specifically regarding the 10 custom chart series per algorithm cap. I was wondering if adding a node to the backtesting process would increase the quotas or if utilizing local computing power is a viable option. I thought that this question may also be relevant to others in the community. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Chart QuotasCustom charts are limited to 4,000 data points. Intensive charting requires hundreds of megabytes of data, which is too much to stream online or display in a web browser. If you exceed the quota, the Cloud Terminal displays the following message:
Exceeded maximum points per chart, data skipped
You can create up to 10 custom chart series per algorithm. If you exceed the quota, your algorithm stops executing and the Cloud Terminal displays the following message:
Exceeded maximum series count: Each backtest can have up to 10 series in total.

Hi Papa Bear
Sorry to inform that adding/upgrading backtest nodes would not increase this limit. A workaround would be downloading the data and plot locally in your own machine. Simply click “Download Results” in the Overview tab upon the finish of a backtest. Then search for “Charts" in the json, and your desire chart's title. The object contains all series' data points (in format of {"x": timestamp, “y”: value}) of that chart. You can rerender the chart from those retrieved data.
Best
