Unable to play replay chart even after loading 5 years of data.
I am trying to play the replay chart and I have 5 years of data loaded into the chartbook but when I play the replay chart, the chart is in this state where it says "Downloading continous contract data"

You need to wait for the Continuous Futures Contract Chart historical data to be downloaded. To increase the speed of that, refer to:
Historical Intraday Data (Missing Data / Download Errors / Viewing More Data): Improving Historical Intraday Data Downloading Performance

We do not know what this precisely means:
Unable to play replay chart even after loading 5 years of data.

It is too vague for us to understand this. Is the replay starting and showing "replay" at the top the left of the chart? Also you cannot replay a chart that is completely blank. The replay is not going to start.
