Notes
- Updates are available after 16:45 Pacific time.
- Until late 2009, Unicorn volume data was capped at 2,147,483,647 (integer number limit). This is an issue with Unicorn data and not with the Market Sentiment data provider.
- If you haven't downloaded market sentiment data before or your DataSet was updated 5 days ago or earlier, the provider will download the complete historical data. Otherwise, only the available updates will be downloaded to minimize bandwidth and increase the update speed.
