Hello Sierra Chart Support, I am conducting an outcome-blind source-integrity review of expired CME Euro FX futures contracts. I am using an isolated Sierra Chart instance and manually opening specific expired symbols through Find Symbol. I need to verify whether your current historical source can supply raw intraday records for the following serial 6E contracts: 6EF11-CME, 6EF12-CME, 6EF14-CME, 6EF16-CME, 6EF17-CME, and 6EX17-CME. For each symbol, Sierra created an SCID file containing only the 56-byte header and no data records. The 6EF11-CME request was allowed to run for 647.8 seconds; the other checks ran about 121-160 seconds. The same isolated workflow acquired valid same-day serial controls 6EF18-CME (628,816 bytes) and 6EF19-CME (293,536 bytes). Could you please confirm: 1. Whether the current historical-data service can provide intraday history for these specific pre-2018 serial 6E CME contract symbols. 2. Whether the exact symbols above are correct for the current service, including the -CME suffix. 3. Whether any service setting, entitlement, symbol translation, or historical-days setting is required to retrieve them. 4. If the records are unavailable, whether this is a known archive limitation and whether a repair or alternate Sierra-supported historical source exists. I can provide compact source-availability evidence if useful. I am asking only about contract-level historical-data availability, not price interpretation or trading advice. Thank you. |
