Downloading past futures contracts

[TraderEyal]

Hi, I'm interested in downloading past (intraday) data for the DAX. How do I go about doing that?

I currently use AX Z4-DT, trying other contract symbols doesn't seem to work.

Thanks,

Try running a search for expired contracts in the eSignal KnowledgeBase

Hi Alex, OK, I found the relevant info but trying:

AX U2004-DT
AX M2004-DT
AX H2004-DT

All do not load on 5 min charts, only daily. Is this data available in some other format / subscription? If not, any idea where I can find this type of data or alternatively continuous contracts?

Thanks,
Eyal

Make sure that your Time Template is set to look back far enough to retrieve the data. As far as I can see AX U2004-DT is available (see image below).
Also consider that eSignal provides up to a maximum of 120 days of intraday data so prior contracts may not be available.
