Swithing charts offline?

I am doing research from 2014 to 2024 on DAX-related charts (Point & Figure). But every three months, there is a rollover. To avoid this, can I switch the charts I am using to an offline mode? Or is there another option to keep the prices from 2014 to 2024 as they are (without the rollover), i.e., continuous contracts - but I am not sure?

Thank you in advance.

To begin with, you need to be using a Continuous Futures Contract in order to view the data for those years. If you are NOT using a back-adjusted option for the continuous contract, then it should not matter what occurs with the front contract. Therefore, use the "Date Range From/To" to display the data and it doesn't matter what happens with the front contract.

If you are using a back-adjusted option for the continuous contract, then this does become a problem. The only solution we can think of would be to export the bar data once you have it set as you want, and then re-import it back into the system as another symbol (some symbol that does not exist such as "MyData"). You can then work with that data as it will remain static from that point forward.

Refer to the following:
