How do I load historical futures data for 30 years or longer? So far i'm only able to get up to 10 years. I'm using daily data.

For many of the commodity markets there is futures data going back about 30 years. For what market did you need this for?

Make sure you are using a Continuous Futures Contract chart:

I need it for popular futures like ES, YM, NQ, GC, ZB, 6E, CL, ZS, etc.
Yes, I am using Continuous Futures Contract chart and I was able to get it for 20 years. The log shows the following message: "Limiting the number of years to download historical data for to 20 years for the continuous futures chart. Reason: Account Level Limitation." How do I remove the account level limitation?
Thanks

This limitation is something we are working on. We will try to have this done, in the next couple of days.

Also keep in mind some of those futures contracts are not going to go back further than 20 years because they did not exist. For example the ES.

Yes it should be done tomorrow. But also be aware that historical daily data data queries over a certain number per month will have an extra cost associated with them. The cost is very small and more details will come out later.

This should have been released. But we are checking. You should be able to do continuous contracts back 30 years. Follow the instructions here to re-download the data:

Can I confirm if this is supported for intraday data? I am trying to download a continuous back-adjusted contract of the ES but am only seeing data going back to 2008-05-04. Is there a way to get more historical intraday data prior to that point?

No not more historical Intraday data. 2008 is about as far back as the there is available for that type of data.
