Exporting chart data

I'm trying to extract chart data from a 1800day 1 tick chart into a txt file, but when I select "Export Intraday Data" or "Export Bar data", I can only get the last month's worth of data. I have turned on continuous contract from advanced tab and selected 1800days for download. How can I select a longer range of data to download?

Exporting 1800 days of 1 tick data is extremely impractical if not impossible. Most likely you would run into an out of memory condition. Also the text file would be so huge we do not even know how you could work with it. You would continuously be struggling with it.

However, this is the command you need to use:

If less data is actually being exported to the file, this means less data is actually in the chart.

Ok, I've got that. I don't want 1 tick data actually, my mistake, I was after 2.5 range bar data, however, I'd like to export cummulative delta bars data alongside the chart data. Is this possible?

Is it possible to get the calculation/formula that is used to arrive at the data value for "last" dataset for cummulative delta - volume bars? I want to use it in some algorithmic calculations.
