Hi, I want to download futures data from 1970 and onwards (where this is available). I've set Maximum Historical Days to Download For Daily Data to 18250 (which seams to be the maximum). I'm assuming that CL/Crude Oil has historic data from 1970. I tried to do Delete All Data and Download and I'm presented with the Multiple Symbol Selection Window (see screenshot). This window only have contracts that go back to 2010 though (CLF10-NYMEX is the first). How do I download CL-data (and other contracts) from before 2010? Any help is much appreciated! |

The "Maximum Historical Days to Download for Daily Data" is not going to control what you are wanting to do. That only applies for when you first access a symbol and that is the amount of data downloaded. Therefore, set this back to 186, or whatever value you typically use for this. Change the "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting >> Days to Load for Historical Chart Data Type" to the number of days for which you want the data. If you want all the data, then set it to a very high value (such as 100000). Then, if the data does not automatically download going back as far as it can, then select "Edit >> Delete All Data and Download" and select all the contracts to download all the data (it will take some time to download all the data, even though it is daily data). We see daily historical data for CL going back to 1983. There is nothing prior to that date as the product started trading that year.
