When Bullcharts calculates RSI, does it use only the data that are loaded, or does it use all data available?

BullCharts performs calculations on the data loaded. On a chart all available data gets loaded. On a scan only the amount of data specified in the Advanced tab gets loaded.

However the value of the RSI is not significantly dependant on the amount of data loaded. (Technically it because it uses the Wilders moving average method, but the effect is only very small).
