Update data in the background (28 pairs, 6 timeframes)

Hello!
I have a tool (currently an expert, but later it will become an indicator). It works on 28 currency pairs at the same time and on several time planes.
Unfortunately, it sometimes happens that the data of all currency pairs is not updated in the background (charts are not opened).
How can I ensure that all 28 currency pairs and all necessary time frames are stored with fresh data?
Thanks!

int usedTimeFrames[6] = {1, 5, 15, 30, 60, 240};
string pairs[28] =
  {
   "AUDCAD","AUDCHF","AUDJPY","AUDNZD","AUDUSD","CADCHF","CADJPY",
   "CHFJPY","EURAUD","EURCAD","EURCHF","EURGBP","EURJPY","EURNZD",
   "EURUSD","GBPAUD","GBPCAD","GBPCHF","GBPJPY","GBPNZD","GBPUSD",
   "NZDCAD","NZDCHF","NZDJPY","NZDUSD","USDCAD","USDCHF","USDJPY"
  };

Walk through the chart info of all symbol and timeframe, using the values of all bars. Sometfing like the code below.
The terminal will start downloading the missing data.

int tbc=TerminalInfoInteger(TERMINAL_MAXBARS)-1;
for (int i=0;i<28;i++)
{
for (int j=0;j<6;j++)
{
for (int shift=0;shift<tbc;shift++)
{
double p0=iMA(pairs[i], usedTimeFrames[j], shift,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);
double p1=iOpen(pairs[i], usedTimeFrames[j], shift);
double p2=iClose(pairs[i], usedTimeFrames[j], shift);
double p3=iHigh(pairs[i], usedTimeFrames[j], shift);
double p4=iLow(pairs[i], usedTimeFrames[j], shift);
double p5=iVolume(pairs[i], usedTimeFrames[j], shift);
double p6=iTime(pairs[i], usedTimeFrames[j], shift);
}
}
}

Thanks, I tried it.
Unfortunately, it is very time consuming. With a broker with fresh data, it ran in 7 minutes.

Isn't there a faster solution? What if I could run the tool when it is started and after a certain period of time and it does not load the platform so much?

the fastest solution, don't use pair codes on EA or indicators

But you have to open a 28 pair chart

and sorry if I call this is trader's greed

If you are able to take advantage of opportunities from 1-2 pairs, you can become a successful trader

Each pair is 1 opportunity and 1 uncertainty at the same time

Each TF is 1 opportunity and 1 uncertainty at the same time

Thank you for your comment.
Maybe I worded it wrong or google didn't translate my writing correctly.
Of course, I don't want to trade on 28 pairs and their multiple time planes at the same time. This is a signaling system in the making, which I would like to have its data in order. (Unfortunately, it does not work properly on all platforms, because the data is not always fresh - I would like to solve this).
