Post From: Continuous futures contract data slow to download

The starting download date of 1967 for an individual contract is normal. That is not the issue.

These are the relevant messages:

There is some connectivity problem between Sierra Chart and the historical data server. Since we are not seeing a problem ourselves, we think it is due to a firewall on your side. Refer to help topic 1.2:
