Problem 1
I've a very annoying issue, I use a watch list for various micro futures contracts (MCL, MES, etc..) and I want to display all daily data for each symbol from the starting point

The issue is when I select date range to load (2121-06-17 to 2022-07-01 in the screenshot) I get an error each time I choose a new symbol, I get log message popup with error : No Data to read (End of file), see log in the screenshot

as not symbols start trading in the same time, the sierra chart should know the starting point for each symbol and simply load what's available as data and stop popup not-understandable errors.

Problem 2
If I use number of days to load, and I zoom out the chart seems to be forced to start from left edge and I get a big void in the right (see screenshot 2) without ability to move the chart to the right. is there a way to have a dynamic loading mechanism, move left, load more as other platforms do (ex tradingview)

Does anyone know how to fix theses two issues ?

Thanks for your help

You are loading way too much data and before these contracts have traded. The settings you have highlighted show the date range for the current symbol of the chart only.

To solve the problem, refer to:
Continuous Futures Contract Charts: Preventing Error Messages by Reducing Days to Load in Chart

Regarding space on the right side, you just need to increase the chart bar spacing:
Working With Charts: Changing Bar Spacing

No, Sierra Chart cannot possibly know the starting time for these:
, the sierra chart should know the starting point for each symbol
