Not sure what you mean. MT can hold 120 days. Stockwatch can do 40 backfill. MT lets you control both settings. All depends on what you have it set to.
Assuming you are in fact getting backfill from Stockwatch, (check if only Stockwatch is shown on the dashboard), check 2 places: 1) SETTINGS / CHARTS / GENERAL - there is a field for "Max # of Days of Intraday Data [.....]" 2) SETTINGS / Data Sources / Configure Accounts - click on Stockwatch. There is a setting for "Intraday Backfill - Number of Days [....]" Set both however you want it. Note - though you can put in 40 days for backfill for example, don't do it if you only need to have 20. The more days that need to be retrieved, the longer the backfill process will be.
