I have a chart on Trading view that I would like to replicate on SC.

The charts a continuous contract of the VIX futures.

The study is a 3 Keltner channels based on 90 days moving average with bands showing 1,2,3 respectively.

I have followed this article Continuous Futures Contract Charts to create a continuous contract however it does not work and only displays the length shown in the image.

Also the keltner channels are only display up until the start of this year.

Can you please advise what I need to do to replicate the Trading View chart thanks.

Please see attached screen shots for more information about what I am describing.
