It appears on my SC version 2245 that the data in Denali for COMEX on Gold (GC), Silver (SI), and Copper (HG) are missing every other month? I see the February, April, and June contracts, for example. But the January, March, and May contracts seem to be missing? Please advise.

Huh. Looking at the CME trade data, it looks like, although every month is listed, only every other one actually trades. https://www.cmegroup.com/trading/metals/precious/gold_quotes_volume_voi.html#tradeDate=20210519 Weird.

So even with trading only the even 6 months, I still find something very off. I cannot seem to locate the October Gold (GC) contract historical data. This seems odd. Odder, it is not a fluke for just one year. The GCV contract seems to be consistently missing... I am looking GC?##-COMEX on Denali, this is the CME/COMEX gold futures. GCG February GCJ April GCM June GCQ August GCV October <<-- missing entirely from historical data ??? GCZ December I see for example, in the Data/ directory, 5 months (for G,J,M,Q, and Z): GCG19-COMEX.scid, GCJ19-COMEX.scid, GCM19-COMEX.scid, GCQ19-COMEX.scid, and GCZ19-COMEX.scid but I do not see GCV19-COMEX.scid (October). Are we missing data for October (V) contracts? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2021-05-21 00:07:44

Why was this support request marked as User Discussion? I am asking about Denali missing data.

No one trades the October Gold contract (GCV). That's why. It may be listed, but the volume is so low that institutional traders roll directly from August (GCQ) to the December (GCZ) contract. Don't expect any data provider to keep and support historical and real-time data for contract months that are not widely traded at all.
