You do not need to do this:
Set the maximum intraday historical days to download to 4000.

This is clearly documented:

Tried loading from Date Range. When I tried this, the top row, Date Range In From File (YYYY-MM-DD) defaults to the contract open date instead of showing me the stitched bars. In the case shown in the attached screenshot, 2026-03-08, contradicting the date range set.

Refer to:
Chart Settings: Date Range in File From / To (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting >> Date Range and Limiting Method)

You do need to use the Continuous Futures Contract Chart feature. If there is any missing data we want you to restart Sierra Chart, and then follow through the instructions here:
