i use the sierra chart data service and TD ThinkorSwim, and i would like to download 10 years of historical data for ZN (10yr US treasury futures), to test out a trading model...but i seem to only be able to go back 5 years.

is there something i can do to be able to load more historical data?

Also, it would be nice if i didn't have to re-download all that historical data every time i restart the application.
Can i "mark" a set or file of historical data as "good" and thus skip downloading it every time...and only download data forward from a set date/timestamp?

There is not going to be 10 years of data available. We have to check how much there is. The earliest would be probably about 2008 but as we said we have to check on this.

You do not have to and this does not happen. Not sure how you are coming to this conclusion.

This is not relevant.
