There is no additional cost to use CTS. Just follow through the set up instructions here:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/CTS_T4.php

The CTS account set up for this is done on the clearing firm side.

Yes actually that does make sense that you will have to re-download the Historical Daily data charts due to the different price format with CTS.

Follow the instructions here:

Did a Re-Download of Continuous Futures Contract Data as suggested. December Daily Chart still will not display to present day.

Most likely the Historical Daily data download limit has been reached for the day and this is what is causing the problem.

Wait until the next day and try again by selecting Edit >>Download Data-Historical Chart.


Also refer to this section here to understand what contract months you are actually looking at in that chart:
Continuous Futures Contract Charts: Displaying Rollover Transition Times and Contract Months

Otherwise, it is not clear to us.
