Load a daily Historical Chart of ESH23 and post what you see on that date.

My daily historical chart of ESH23 shows a low of 3788.50 on Dec 22nd 2022, which seems to be what you were expecting to see.

Only thing I can think of is that you are using an adjusted continuous contract chart. Maybe if you posted a picture of your chart, it would be helpful.

Just loaded a 1 min chart of ESH23 and I see a low of 3788.50 @ 13:33:00 ET on 12/22/22.

No idea why your chart is different, but good luck in sorting it out.

First - if you are wanting to see the data for the H contract of 2023 for the ES, then you will need to load that specific contract by typing it in on the Find Symbol window and then opening an Intraday chart (or changing the symbol of a chart if that is how you like to do it). The point is, that the current contract is M, so you have to load the H contract separately and be sure not to roll it over (or that you have the option for "Automatically Rollover Futures Symbol" set to 'Yes' - this needs to be 'No'). Refer to the following:
Historical Intraday Data (Missing Data / Download Errors / Viewing More Data): Using Expired Futures Contracts

Note that it looks like you are using CQG for your data, so you will only be able to see the data for this symbol for which you already have data downloaded - CQG does not have previous contract data available. Your other option would be to change your service to SC Data - All Services to get the data from us.

Once you have the symbol loaded, then you need to figure out if you are wanting to view Daily Historical data, or Intraday data. The Close of each day, in particular will be different between the Intraday and Historical data. Refer to the following:
Differences With Data and Chart Bars Between Services / Connections / Chart Types: 43.6 - Differences Between Close Prices on Historical Daily Charts Compared to Intraday Charts

After you work out the above, then you can view the particular item you are trying to find.

Volume based, back date adjusted

Since you are using a "Back Adjusted" continuous contract, the data from the previous contracts is adjusted so that it will line up with the next forward contract (and so on, going back to the beginning of your chart). Therefore, the data displayed is no longer the exact data from that time. If this is not what you want, then do not use a Back Adjusted option. Refer to the following:
