I am trying to download SPX index historical intraday data and getting no luck. I have the days to download set to 1000 and the download unit set to 1 minute. When I execute the download, I get no data. I've read all through this board trying various fixes but no luck. Please help.

To be clear the name of the chart I am trying is "SPX_CGI" but no joy in downloading any data.
