Hi,

I want to replay a chart from the year 2000, so I need intraday chart data. (Since I cannot replay with historical data.)

In Global Settings > Data/Trade Service Settings, I set the maximum historical intraday days to download >> non-tick/1 tick data to: 10,000 (more than 25 years).

And Intrady Data Storage Time Unit: 1 minute

In Chart Settings > Data Limiting, I selected Use Date Range and entered 2000-01-03.

However, the oldest file I can get is from 2010. (MESM10_FUT_CME.scid).

It's not possible to go back from 2010?
There is any way to replay a Historical Chart?

Regards

There are several reasons for the problem. There is a limit of 15 years, in a Continuous Contract Intraday chart, and MES is only recently in existence. We would have to check but probably not more than five years.

OK Thanks

In ES I can get 15 years of Intraday data.
But in MES I just can get 5 years.

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

The MES was introduced on May 6, 2019. So you should be able to get data back to that date, but there will not be anything before then. Refer to the following:
