Hello,

With Interactive Brokers trading service, continuous futures contracts do not work anymore for me. I get this in the log :

Triggering next historical data download in queue. | 2021-02-04 09:36:10.442
ZB-202103-ECBOT [CV][M] Daily #1 | Reloading chart. | 2021-02-04 09:36:10.455
ZB-202103-ECBOT [CV][M] Daily #1 | Limiting the number of years to load data for to 0 years for the continuous futures chart. Reason: Account level limitation. | 2021-02-04 09:36:10.455

What is that account level limitation?

- "Allow support for sierra chart data feeds" is set to "Yes" in Data/Trade service settings
- I have tried updating the symbol settings
- I have tried deleting all data / redownloading

Thanks
