When you switch to Daily or higher timeframe, the default for Sierra Chart is to change to using daily historical data, which is stored in the .dly files.

If you just want to see the aggregated data from your intraday data as a 1 day chart, then set the Chart >> Chart Settings >> Chart Data Type to Intraday Chart Only. This forces the system to only use the intraday data, regardless of the timeframe that you have set for the chart. Refer to the documentation here:
Chart Settings: Chart Data Type (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting >> Date Range and Limiting Method menu)
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
