Since you require many symbols which are not listed it is best that you set them up your self through the Global Symbol Settings:
Global Symbol Settings

For Continuous Futures Contracts, you need to set the settings for the futures pattern, on the Rollover tab:

For Historical Daily data from the Sierra Chart Historical Data Service, you do need to set the Historical >> Historical Chart Symbol in the Symbol Settings which is documented in the section linked to above.

To back up the symbol settings you need to backup the GlobalSymbolSettings.XML file. Here is some related information:
