I'm not particularly an expert on eSig + AB but here is what I have
experienced:

AB instructs eSignal to download data based on the time period you
specify in Files > Database Settings > Base Time Interval.  If you
have set this to 1 min or 5 min eSig will download somewhere around 10
days of 5 minute bars - thats all.

You can't get 6 months of intraday data that I know of. AmiBroker will
aggregate the 5 min bars into daily bars and plot those for you, but
only up to the few days of 5 min bars available. 

If you want 6 months of daily bars, you have to create a SEPARATE eSig
database with the Base Time Interval set to End-of-Day.  Then eSig
goes to their EOD quote server (different from their RT servers) and
gives you daily bars.  It is possible to retrieve years of daily bars
in this mode.

Cheers,
