Thanks for your information in the above comments. You stated ...

For the amount of historical data available when using the Continuous Futures Contract feature, refer to:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/ContinuousFuturesContractCharts.html#Limitations
You can temporarily change your service package to 5 to get the initial history, then after that you can change it back to 3. Let us know if you want us to do that.

I will likely take you up on this, but I want to spend a few days building some cash charts in a couple of the markets I follow, and then comparing those charts with my existing #.dly charts first. I know you said ...

There is a reason why we do not provide support for these symbols. In short, there can be missing data, inaccurate data, and incorrect rollover dates. You do not want to use these symbols. We will not say anything further about this.

However past experience using various charting tools in combination with this #.dly data has produced some amazing results regarding resistance and support targets ... for whatever reason. So I'll do some comparisons and get back to you in a week or so. I have produced so many of these charts in all the commodities I follow ... maybe it's worth keeping them in a separate chart book ... let them run and do more comparisons again later.

Thanks again for you input.

Regards,
Jim
