I like to download e-mini and crude oil (CL) future for 3 and 5 minutes data for back testing. As e-mini and CL change symbol every three month, how many year historical data I can download ? I can use only one symbol to download all data or I can download every three month data ?

I can also download tick bar data ?

Thanks.

To start, you need to be on a paid package in order to have access to the historical data. Right now, your account is expired.

For how much historical data is available, refer to the following:
Sierra Chart Historical Data Service: What is Included

If you want tick-by-tick data, then you would need to download the data for the symbol and time period you want, and then you would need to export each contract individually using the "Edit >> Export Intraday Data to Text File". Refer to the following:
Edit Menu: Edit >> Export Intraday Data to Text file
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
