Hi, I'm trying to view the ES E-mini Futures chart from 12 months ago but currently I can only go back 1 month. I tried going to the Edit menu to select "Download Data - Historical Chart" but it's grayed out so I can't select it. I also tried reading the instructions and other posts but can't seem to make it work. I use Denali so I believe I should be able to download the charts. Could you please help? Thank you! |

What you need to do depends on what you want to see. Keep in mind that futures have limited contract periods, therefore the current contract will not have trading that occurred 12 months ago. If you want to see just the current contract that was traded 12 months ago, then you need to open a chart for that specific contract. To do this, open the Find Symbol window and type in the name of the contract. For example, for the U contract for the ES from 12 months ago you would enter ESU21_FUT_CME (or whatever symbol format you need to use for this, just note the 21 instead of 22). If, on the other hand, you want to see a continuous contract where the data from past futures contracts are tied together, then refer to the information here: Continuous Futures Contract Charts For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
