Steps to reproduce.

1. Download historical intraday data of e.g. CL futures back to 2008 via CQG WebAPI and Sierra Historical Data.
2. Verify that I can open a 4444 day chart in the main instance, show all data back to '08.
3. File, New Instance (creates Instance 2 for the first time)
4. Load a continuous futures contract for CL back for 4444 days.

Outcome - only data from the prompt month (CLX19) are displayed.

5. Follow the instructions here: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/helpdetails6.html#h6.3

6. Follow instructions here: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/ContinuousFuturesContractCharts.html#ReDownloading

Outcome - only data from the prompt month (CLX19) are displayed in Instance 2, whereas instance 1 correctly gets all back data to 2008.

In the main instance SierraChart/Data/ folder there are files beginning F.US.CLE***.dly (around 100KB each and for each month going back to 2008)
In SierraChartInstance2/Data/ folder there is only F.US.CLEX19.dly even after attempting to re-download the data.

Copying F.US.CLE*dly from Data to SierraChartInstance2/Data/ does not resolve the problem either (copying with all SC instances shut down).

Quite clearly the data exists in the master instance (and got into the master instance via the same CQG + Sierra data feed originally).

It appears to be random which symbols download correctly.
F.US.EP* has loaded correctly back to 2008 whereas F.US.NQ* has loaded only the prompt month (Z19).

Appreciate the quick fix before the US Sunday afternoon open.
Confirmed resolved in my case.
