Hi John!

Hope you are doing well! I would like to access data back to 2008 but i can go back till 2019. How do i bypass that? I want to backtest on 2 min candlebars, period September 2008 till November 2008 or from back then till today. Thank you for your time to answer

Kind Regards,

Michael

The data we have for ES starts on May 4, 2008. So you should not have an issue getting the data back that far.

Make sure you are setup as a Continuous Futures Contract and set the "Days to Load" high enough to get the data going back that far. Refer to the following:
Continuous Futures Contract Charts

Once you have a chart that has all that data, then you can set the "Data Limiting" to use the From/To options to set the specific dates for which you want to load the data.
