Cannot figure out why the continuous contracts are having a gap between 2008 and 2019 where there is no data.


I have uploaded the log and chart image. Help would be appreciated.

From your log we see that you are trying to get data for MNQ and M2K in particular. These two (along with MES and MYM) were introduced in 2019. So there is no data for these prior to 2019.

You do have us curious if you are seeing data from 2008 for these, which you should not.

Thank you for a very quick response. I had considered those symbols were made later in date, however the data pre-2008 threw me off. I'll do some troubleshooting on the extra data and will let you know if I am stumped.
