Is there a size limit? I tried importing 5 minute bars in a csv file and only got data going back to December.
no, there is no such limit.
Share more details of your database settings. Local DB is not limited by number of bars but using a data plugin is different.
@edwardlevy, since you are importing from a .csv file I suppose you are using a local database, so I suggest checking your Database settings and increase the Number of bars value if it is too low:
Dialog activated from main menu File / Database settings...
@beppe "Number of bars" is applicable for plugin-driven db, local db will grow.

@nsm51, you are right. I forgot about this. I apologize for my wrong post.

Yes @nsm51 is right this setting is only for plugins. Local database allows approx 50 million bars per symbol.
@Tomasz, to avoid any confusion (even if it actually causes no harm), maybe in future versions this field (and the corresponding labels) should be hidden or disabled if the user select "Local database"
From my experience hiding fields causes more harm than good as users start wondering why their AB looks differently than someone's else or than docs show.

Then simply disable it and dim the labels (and ideally update the docs with new images accordingly to local database or plugin configuration) or at least add/change the associated labels to specify that this applies only to "plugins"
