Those errors mean that the Daily Historical files were not found, or the necessary data was not in them. This would not cause an issue with missing data - it would just create an issue for the back-adjustment for those contracts. To correct this, normally you would select "Edit >> Delete All Data and Download" again for that chart, but this time you would select the option at the bottom for "Download for Daily Data Files Only". Then select OK. But, given the issues you are having with this symbol, we want you to do the following for us: - Exit from Sierra Chart - Using the Operating System (Windows Explorer) navigate to your Sierra Chart installation folder (typically C:\SierraChart, but could be anything based on where you installed Sierra Chart). - Go down into the 'Data' folder under that main installation folder - Within that 'Data' folder find the files that have names that would be "6L?##_FUT_CME", where ? is the one character monthly contract letter and ## is the 2 digit year - so files like "6LV26_FUT_CME", and "6LM25_FUT_CME". - Delete all these files, both Daily and Intraday (.dly and .scid file extensions). - Restart Sierra Chart and open the charts you have for 6L. The data will have to redownload so it may take some time. Hopefully everything will be correct after you do this. You can do this at any time, the market does not need to be open, so you can do it over the weekend. The historical data from us will be available over the weekend.
