What you need to do depends on what you are wanting to see and how you want to accomplish it.

The first thing to keep in mind is that each futures contract has a start and end time to it. For the Z 2025 contract for GC, the data starts around March of 2024.

If you want to view the contract that traded at a specific time, then you need to open a chart for that specific contract. To do this, open the Find Symbol window and enter the specific contract (such as GCU23.COMEX into the "Selected Symbol" field).

The other option is to setup a Continuous Futures Contract chart. Refer to the following for this:

For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
