Trading Past Contracts and chart setup

1) I would like to trade (real-time) a past contract. For example the Dec. 2015 ES contract. I want any day I trade in the Dec. 2015 contract to not be back adjusted but all other previous contracts to be back adjusted. Does your system's playback feature operate like this by default?
2) on the historical days I want to trade, does your historical service also have the market depth so I can use a DOM? I have jigsaw.

3) I also wanted to set up my charts like FT71 and was wondering if you have some predefined templates. If you don't know who that is I'd like to
a) setup split volume profile session - one for overnight one for RTH
b) Have the following levels auto displayed
- overnight high, low on the chart.
- mid of the current days range on the chart
- Vpoc
- VWAP
- any VPOC's from previous days that had no contract trade there since that day on the RTH session
- yesterdays open, close

Thanks!

1. Just simply open a chart for this symbol:

Here is the documentation for the Continuous Futures Contract feature:

2. No, definitely not. You cannot expect that from anyone. That would be very costly to store and serve. Near-term historical market depth data we do plan to make available next year for an extra cost. But the maximum would be about 30 days.

3. Here is the relevant documentation:

Thanks for the quick reply.

2. Actually I thought ninjatrader had this option with its historical data. Anyway, if I had the data, could i upload it somehow into Sierra for use during playback? IF upload is possible, is there a datasource you recommend?

Thanks again.
