5m Chart Replay Problem

I’m trying to replay a 5minute MNQ chart starting from January 2nd, 2020. I’ve set "Days to Load for Intraday Chart Data Type" to 2500, and the "Load Data Limiting Method" is set to "Use Number of Days to Load". However, the chart only loads data starting from March 20th, 2024.

Additionally, the initial bars are displaying only closing prices, even though "Graph Draw Type" is set to OHLC.

I’ve attached screenshots for reference.
What might I be doing wrong? I appreciate any guidance!

You need to set the chart to be a Continuous Futures Contract chart:
Continuous Futures Contract Charts

Also be aware, these micro contracts only go back so far in time because they are relatively new.

You really would want to replay NQ futures and not the micro version.
