Been scouring to try and figure this out with no luck, but as I'm doing my replays how do I change my contract so I can sim trade? For example I'm looking at ES in 2019/11/12. So I'd need to look at ESX19-CME, but I am currently on ESU22-CME. However, whenever I change my symbol to ESX19 it redownloads everything. How can I just change it so I can sim trade off the replay without having to redownload all the data? Thanks in advance!
