Hello, This is probably a routine question but I am not certain what I am missing. I would like to examine data from 2018 for CL on numbers bars but I can only get bits and pieces with blanks everywhere in the chart. Historical charts appear to be day-only so I wasn't using that type of chart. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks, |

I figured it out. To select different time period you can enter the contract (like CLV18-NYMEX) in the Symbol(Action) column in Chart Settings. It than acquired the data without issue. You might have a longer scroll period than the contract trades (like I had 300 days in the Days to Load setting) so you might see large empty patches, that's why.

Hi User800398. If you want to examine data from 2018-present on CL you need to turn on Continuous Contracts: Continuous Futures Contract Charts Good luck in your trading. |
