Hello, I have DLY files for series H M U Z for my contract. Files are in Sierrchart folder. When I activate option continouse contract nothing happened. Should I do something additionally so I would work properly? Regards |

.dly files are daily historical data files. So these are used for Daily and higher timeframes. If this is what you are wanting, then you should just have to set the number of days to load to what you want to see. Keep in mind, you will not see any changes to the data for the current contract, so if you are only viewing that recent data, then nothing will look different. If you are wanting to view data for intraday data, then you need to ensure you have the correct .scid files. The same information we gave above applies in terms of how it will look. As long as you are creating a Continuous Contract for symbols from the CME Group, then you will be getting your data from our Denali Exchange Data Feed, so any data that is required will be downloaded. It really does not matter what files you already have on your system.
