I see in the documentation, Sierra Chart Historical Data Service historical tick data should be available for CME contracts back to 2011, however, in my intraday files I am not seeing any records until 2014 with Open of 0.0, which according to the documentation is a single tick.

https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/IntradayDataFileFormat

In data and trade services, I have Intraday Data Storage Time Unit set to 1 tick. Maximum Historical Intraday Days to Download is set to 20000 for 1-Tick Data.

Is there something else I need to do to acquire the tick data for 2011 to 2014?

ESH11 is an example. For me, I see the first record in my .scid file as
