Downloading more detailed data on intraday or historical data chart

Hello,

I've noticed that going further back of about 90 days or so, the charts become way less detailed as it seems that they are not downloading tick data as they are for the last 90 days. I want to run back tests so I can want the same "detail" on the data. I played around with settings but I really can't seem to find a way to make it download the same detail. I can expand the day of the charts by changing the Days to load setting (Chart Settings -> Day to load) but that didn't help.

Settings:

Data Range In File From 2022-03-10
Chart Data Type Intraday Chart (although same thing happens on historical)
Load Data Limiting Method "Use Number Of Days To Load" (Even if I make this "Use Data Range", it still doesn't download detailed data).
Days to Load for Intraday Chart Data Type: 120

What settings am I missing here?

You need to use the Continuous Futures Contract Chart feature. Refer to the following:

For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
