The "Maximum Historical Days to Download for Daily Data" is not going to control what you are wanting to do. That only applies for when you first access a symbol and that is the amount of data downloaded. Therefore, set this back to 186, or whatever value you typically use for this.

Change the "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting >> Days to Load for Historical Chart Data Type" to the number of days for which you want the data. If you want all the data, then set it to a very high value (such as 100000). Then, if the data does not automatically download going back as far as it can, then select "Edit >> Delete All Data and Download" and select all the contracts to download all the data (it will take some time to download all the data, even though it is daily data).

We see daily historical data for CL going back to 1983. There is nothing prior to that date as the product started trading that year.
