Hi SC Support!

I'm still very new to sierra and have hit some problems when trying to load continuous contract historical data.

Specifically I cannot increase "Date Range From" and "Days To Load".
When I open a new chart via "Find symbol > Open Intraday Chart" and set it to Continuous Contract "Volume Based Rollover Back Adjusted" under Advanced, I cannot increase the date range. If I enter something like 2016-08-08 it resets to 2017-03-14 as soon as I hit "Apply".
I did increase "Global Settings - Data/Trade Service Settings - Max Historical Intraday Days to Download" sufficiently to include my desired range.

Is there anything else I need to set?

Thanks for the help!

With a Continuous Futures Contract chart, you will only need to increase the Days to Load setting. This is explained here:
Continuous Futures Contract Charts: Using Continuous Futures Contract Charts

Date Range From is not relevant.

So we have a better understanding of the issue, post an image of the chart following these instructions:
