Hi,

i am trialling your charting software to see if i can work with it. However, i cannot access historical data for futures US indices (S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow Jones, Russell).

For futures E-mini indices (e.g. ESM20, NQM20, YMM20), i can only view data from May 2017.

For futures Micro indices (e.g. MESM20,MNQM20, MK2M20), i can only go back as far as May 2019.


In the ''continuous contract'' tab, i selected ''Continuous Futures Contract - data rule rollover, back adjusted'', which should amalgamate all the contracts together.

For my trading strategy it is vital to be able go back in time and analyse the markets.

Please advise how to obtain (download) historical data for at least year 2013 onwards.

Thank you.

Kind regards

You should know why this is the case and we are not going to say why.

Yes this is how to get data back to 2013 and you should not have a problem with this. If so, follow the instructions here:
