Hi,
I'm trying to load 10000 days of ES futures data, historical OHLC chart, but I can't make it work.
I tried both the number of days data limit and the date range. There should be some data limiting that I can't find.
When I try to change the value in "Date range in file from" nothing changes, and the value is restored to 2023-03-16 and nothing changes if I set "use number of days to load".
Historical intraday data works fine.
My settings in Data/Trade service settings are: Maximum historical days to download for daily data: 18250
Thanks to whoever can help me

It is correct that you can not change the "Date Range in File From", as you are using a Futures contract, so there is a specific start date for that contract.

You need to use a Continuous Futures Contract to go that far back in time. Refer to the following:
