Hi,

On downloading FESX intraday historical data, my charts seem to stop at spring 2011. Is it possible to download more data? I see the FESX<contractnum>.scid files are only 1kb in size before 2011. I would like to perform some testing on earlier data, preferably back to 2009. Bund data goes back this far.

My data service settings are set for 3000 days of non-tick data, so there should be no problem here. I am using OEC with the Sierra Charts live feed.

We see there is data back to December 2009. You should be getting it. Open a chart for the December 2009 FESX contract through File >> Find Symbol. Do you get the data? If not, re-download it with Edit >> Delete All Data and Download.

I tried that, and also manually tried manually deleting all FESX*.scid files from the data directory. I still receive 0 records for older contracts:

The file size of FESXM0 is 1kb, like before. This is on attempting to load a intraday FESX chart with 2000 days history.

I have send the log file if you need to look at it on program startup (after manually deleting the files), subject is the same as this thread.
There is quite a lot of noise in the log as its also loading my ES setup. I can do this with a clean chartbook if required.

We have looked into this. Unfortunately, for that particular market there is no historical data earlier than June 2011.

Do you plan on adding more? A 3 year range is not particularly long for a major stock index - its very hard to to any real testing on that, given the market has been in a steady uptrend over that period.
