Hi there, I am on Service Package 3 and can not figure out how to get historical data into my charts [with FXCM] I have changed the 'Use Date Range' in Chart Settings to go back 5 years for Daily candles for USOil, it does go back but only to June 2014.

Can you please assist?

Rgds, Mark

With certain FXCM CFD symbols, there is limited historical daily data available for them.

For US Oil we recommend using CL# for a historical Daily chart to get the equivalent futures data.

..thx for your response, sorry I'm a bit confused; where do I get CL [Oil Futures] data from? I have looked in 'Find Symbol' not there, 'New/Open Historical Chart' only shows 4 FX symbols. Is it a paid service from FXCM?

You need to manually type the symbol into File >> Find Symbol >> Selected Symbol and press Open Historical Chart.
