Good Morning,

I'm attempting to chart replay days that are months previous to current day to back-test but all the data on those days I'm attempting to back-test on shows very spotty/missing data.

Things I've done so far:
- I've made sure all my charts within the chart book have the date range and/or number of days that will accommodate this date I'm attempting to back-test on.
- Deleted and re-downloaded the data via manually deleting the file from the machine and deleting via shortcut menu action item "delete and download data"
- My data services is set at 1 tick

Type of charts I'm using:
- Naked Candle Stick Chart
- Number bars/Foot print chart with total numbers

Type of chart I'm NOT using:
- DOM



I've also searched the public support ticket board and couldn't find anything for this issue that doesn't suggest something I haven't already done.

Thank you in advance.

You need to set your chart to be a "Continuous Futures Contract Chart" for what you are wanting. Refer to the following:
Continuous Futures Contract Charts
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
