Post From: "Intraday Data Editor" vs "Export to Intraday Text File"

I understand.

Test:
I loaded the one before the last expiration (NQM24).
I pressed Edit -> Export Intraday Data to Text File.
It downloaded data from 2024-2-23 to 2024/6/21. Okay.

Question:
Can I request an additional switch/option for the export to download everything at once, exactly as it appears on the chart? The complete data set, say for 4 years.

Why I'm asking:
I trade futures on higher timeframes.
I develop strategies on these timeframes.
Several years of data are needed for backtesting.
Due to speed limits, replay is not an option.

For offline testing of certain trade managements, precise candle life (intrabar fluctuation) data is necessary. That's why data export is required.

I can download the NQ by expiration, but as an IT engineer, you probably agree that splicing the data downloaded by expiration to precisely match the data on the chart is very difficult.
