Open a chart for the current front contract (for ES that is the M 2026 contract). Set that chart to be a Continuous Futures Contract using whatever rollover method you want (offhand, we would suggest "Date Rule Rollover"). Then set the chart to load the data you want using either the Days to Load or the "Date Range From/To". Refer to the following: Continuous Futures Contract Charts Chart Settings: Days to Load for Intraday Chart Data Type (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting >> Load Data Limiting Method: Days to Load) Then set the chart to be a 1 Trade chart: Chart Settings: Number of Trades Per Bar (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Bar Period >> Intraday Chart Bar Period Settings >> Bar Period Type) Then select "Edit >> Export Bar Data to Text File" to get the data you want: Edit Menu: Edit >> Export Bar Data to Text File We can not say how large the files will be, as we are not certain if you are referring to our internal data files or the exported files. You will just have to try it and see for yourself. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
