Is it possible to bring back the March contract for ES? Typically there's been 2 expired contracts I could go back to and backtest but it looks like yesterday March was taken away.

Thanks!

What exactly do you mean by "March was taken away"? Are you missing data in a Continuous Futures Contract chart? Or was this a chart with just the March contract loaded?

See attatched screenshot, June is the last contract I can use which only goes back a few months. I'm manually backtesting some trade ideas and wanted to know if I could still get expired contracts to upload to get the right data.

You can always load an expired contract, even if it is not on the list in the Find Symbol window. You just need to enter the symbol using the appropriate format. For instance, for the March 2024 contract, you would enter "ESH24" in the Selected Symbol field on the Find Symbol window.
