It is both.
The routine is that you start with the current timeframe (or DAY
if undefined) and keep running through the defined timeframes until you successfully
load data. In the case of beancounter, there is a check that if you have not
loaded data at the DAY timeframe, then it bombs out.
The whole ritual is a little strange as data is not stored any
different depending on timeframes. If I have time, I’ll check through this.
But as I said below, usually this just means that you don’t have
data for that marked (CODE) in the data base…

Thanks for the reply.
Regarding: "The beancounter DB module does not support intraday
data."
I did some checking to figure out what the problem with my data, so I added the
$code to the message, so I could see what data was in my database for that
code.
As it turns out, there was no historical data for the codes returning this
error.
It seems this error is misleading. It's not that beancounter doesn't
support intraday data for $code, it is that no data is available for $code.

In general, when you see this error this means that the

not successfully loaded. GT will then try to load smaller and smaller
timeframes, until it successfully loads some data, or in the case of
beancounter, dies with the message below.
