You type in any symbol you want and it loads the requested data to a cache on your PC, and your chart in a few seconds where it remains until you delete it.
The cache on my machine is now 6497 files (26 folders) totalling about 479 MB,

It is on your PC.

Whatever you ask for. There are minute, tick, and end-of-day files plus those containing "symbol universe" data. My files for @ES are shown in the attached picture.
It also tells you with a flag on the chart if a data correction is available and gives you the option of downloading it.
There is a back-up facility that allows you to back-up everything in about a minute. You can then restore that back-up file to a different machine to get the two machines to be identical.
Very handy.
