Ok. Yes it will.

Although as a general rule one shouldn't ask for 10 days' data every day. I usually get 'today' + the next 2 days to catch any last minute changes to schedules, plus the 'new' day in the future (e.g. day 10). i.e. I get days 0,1,2,10 (in two passes). The schedule in between rarely changes and so it is not necessary to request days 3-9 every day. This also helps to reduce the load on the Atlas server.
