Post From: combining older imported intraday data with live broker data

How do I combine multiple years of intraday data with my current broker data feed, so that I can see more history than what is provided by my broker feed?

Background:

I have a few years worth of 1-minute OHLC futures data that I imported from CSV using the SC import functionality. I would like to "combine" this with my live broker feed, so that I can see more history.

Currently, I use a second instance to review this older data. This is futures data that I've exported into a continuous contract with a distinct symbol name. For example, I use Interactive Brokers and the current symbol name is "ES-202109-GLOBEX". I use the symbol name "ES-offline" for my imported data. I used the distinct symbol name to prevent potential conflicts (maybe that's not advised?). That works, but I have to manually update it each day, keep two sets of charts, etc.

Thanks!
