When I open sierra chart the chartbooks open, the charts do not download the data. Some charts have a yellow symbol saying: Waiting to download historical data, and other charts have a blue symbol saying: Downloading continuous contract data.
It will take time for the historical data to finish downloading because you are using new symbols and continuous futures charts which apparently are set to load a large number of days. The downloads will eventually finish.

To reduce the time to download the data, follow the instructions here:
