I seem to experience a lot of inconsistency in time length when I pull up continuous charts. I just switched from level 3 to level 5 subscription. I pulled up an intrady chart on nqm4.scid, set it to one day, no hours, no minutes, set it to 3000 days to dsiplay/load, and clicked on Continuous Furtures Contract - Data Rule Rollver, Back Ajusted. But the chart only gets me back to mid-December, 2012. At other times, it takes me back to December 2010. I'd like to go back to 2008, at least. Why am I experiencing this?

We see you are using OEC. Do the following:

Update Sierra Chart by selecting Help >> Download Current Version. Please do this step, otherwise the following information is not valid.

Re-download the data in the continuous futures contract chart following these instructions:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_ContinuousFuturesContractCharts.html#ReDownloading

For the NQ the data goes back to the March 2009 contract.

Would I get data further back if I wasn;t using OEC? Or would I have some other advantage if I wasn;t using OEC? I'm afraid I'm suffering from a lack of understanding as to how the OEC connection works. I'm not trading with my Sierra/OEC connection. I do research on Sierra Charts. When I want to trade, I pull up my OEC software separately. What is the best way for me to get the maximum research capabiliuty out of Sierra?

You can go further back in time with a Historical Daily chart.

You cannot go further back in time if you are not using OEC.

How far back do you want to go? We may be able to add another year of data in.
