We are not fully understanding this. First, if you have the full data loaded for the March 2024 contract in the chart and then select "Edit >> Export Bar Data to Text File" you should be getting the full set of data that is loaded in that chart into the text file. If this is not occurring, then we need to know what exactly is in the chart versus what is in the text file. Second, the Date Range From/To should not be changing, unless you have this chart linked to another chart for the "Days to Load". Also, make sure you are actually changing the "Load Data Limiting Method: Date Range" values, and not the "Date Range and Limiting Method" at the top, which has the entries for "Range Range in File From/To". The "Date Range in File From" will change based on how far back you can get the data for that particular contract. Try the following. Set the "Date Range From" to something far enough back to load the entirety of the contract - such as 2020-01-01. Leave the "Date Range To" blank. Then in the "Date Range In File From" set the date to the same date entered in the "Date Range From" (i.e. something like 2020-01-01). Then select "Apply All" or "OK". You will be prompted whether you want to download the data going back to where you entered the date from - be sure to answer "Yes" to this question. After the data downloads, you should have the full range of the data for that contract.
