First, make sure you have your "Intraday Data Storage Time Unit" set to "1 Tick". Refer to the following: Data/Trade Service Settings: Intraday Data Storage Time Unit (Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Common Settings >> Common Settings) Then it is just a matter of getting the data you want into a chart to get it downloaded. You have two choices for this, depending on how you want to get/view the data: 1. Open an individual chart for the contract you want. So if you want ES data for the March 2021 contract, you would open a chart for the symbol ESH21-CME. Refer to the following: File Menu: Find Symbol (File) 2. Open a chart for the current front contract, then set the chart to be a Continuous Futures Contract and set the amount of data to load going back as far as you need the specific data. Refer to the following: Continuous Futures Contract Charts For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
