Cannot get HSI 1!-HKF to work for 30 days of minute data

[SteveH]

Settings to get HSI (Hang Seng Index Futures) continuous contract for 30 days of minute data:

1. Time template set to 24 hours 30 days
2. All months marked to be included in continuous contract calculation.
3. Roll date of "Day of the Month" set to "Next Month"
4. "Selected Roll Date" set to "1st"
5. Offset is -2 with "Business Days" marked

I selected the symbol HSI 1!-HKF on a 5 min interval and I only get data going back to 1/2/06. Why didn't the continuous contract setup pull in data from the previous December contract?

Version of eSignal is 7.91 Build 738.

Someone else was having a similar problem with user defined continuous contracts when setting #Days in the Time Template (see this thread).
The solution at this time is to set the User Defined Interval to load #Bars rather than #Days. Once you do that you should be able to access all the available data
