Post From: How to Avoid Unnecessary Historical Daily chart Data Request from long ago (70+ years)

I brought up this problem a while ago and I think you fixed it in MCL, but I still see the issue in so many markets.

Here's one hopefully you can reproduce:

I am on Trading Evaluator. Intraday Storage Time Unit is 1min.
I have 6AH26 chart open.

Automatically Rollver Futures Symbol is Yes

Continuous Futures Contract - Volume Based Rollover, Back Adjusted

Chart Data Type is Historical Chart

I have a weekly chart with data from 2000-11-05 til now.



The issue is I see so many logs requesting data from the last century and it eats into my monthly historical data request limit.
This is just a small segment below:

Is there anything I can do on my side to avoid these unnecessary requests.
It's requesting data from 1974-07-10 and others that I don't want.
