Post From: How to backtest further than May?

I am trading the ES Micro and currently have the December 2019 Chart/Contract up.
I have enabled Continuous Contracts and selected [Date Rule rollover Back Adjusted] because I read that Date-Adjusted is good for stock indexes like the S&P 500 / ES Micro.

When I click the replay button though, and check [Use State Date-Time] and enter the date as 2018-10-03 however it starts replaying the charts at 5-6.

I shall attach images to further illustrate my problem.

SUMMARY: With Continuous Contracts enabled, I am trying to backtest the ES MINI at LEAST a year, but as I am watching the replay chart, I can see I am only able to go back to May 2019, or about 5 months.
