What limits the number of candles returned by CopyRates()?

See original GitHub issue

I’m not sure this is an issue, but is seem like the CopyRates function is only able to receive 3086 candles. Since my terminal MaxBars are set to 512,000, I believe it is a broker issue.

  INFO: CopyRates: Symbol    :  EURUSD
  INFO: CopyRates: TimeFrame :  M5
  INFO: CopyRates: Requested :  10000 candles
  INFO: CopyRates: Received  :  3086 candles
  INFO: CopyRates: ErrorCode :  0

This is approximately (3086 candles * (1 hr/12 candles) * (1 day/24 hr) = 10 days of trading data. This also coincide with the chart scroll back.

Is there a way to see a priori, how much data is available on the chart, given a TF?
