for ZF, ZN, TN, ZB, UB treasury bond futures, i'm trying to get 10 second charts (for high accuracy to use with the Spread-3 study leading into an overlay study) to load mid price data for 360 days for continuous back adjusted contracts (so i can look at spreads). My data storage time unit is set to "1 second" and I have checked "Allow Support for Sierra Chart Data feeds" in data settings.

My symbols are ZFZ8-BAAVG ZNZ8-BAAVG etc..

However, it looks like SC is only loading prices for the current contract...and so when the current December contracts were not active (beyond about 30 days ago) there is no more historical data for these intraday charts.

any ideas?

You cannot use that recording suffix and get the expected historical data with those futures contracts.

hhmm...then how can i get mid prices for historical futures contracts? Or, can i have SC load historical Bid/Ask prices with every trade, and then calc the mid from those?
