[Programming Help] - Backadjusted tick data in ACSIL

Hi

Is ReadIntradayFileRecordForBarIndexAndSubIndex only capable of returning tick data for the active contract? I notice on continuous contract charts it's not returning any data for older contracts.

Is there any way to get backadjusted tick data from ACSIL? I couldn't find anything in the docs/forums.

If not, is the only alternative to manually read the files and construct the continuous series from scratch in a custom study?

Thanks

Yes for sure if the chart is not replaying:

What you want is not supported.

Yes or set the chart to 1 Trade Per Bar:
