Why does esignal not allow me to load expired futures contracts?

[Runningbear]

Can anyone tell me why I can't access expired futures contracts?

I mean I've subscribed to Eurex data so I've paid for it. It's already on the servers so why doesn't esignal allow me to access these contracts? What the point of having the bar replay function if I can't access any historial data to test. This just doesn't make any sense to me.

Do you mean historical data in addition to
what you can get using 1! or #F?

Runningbaer, Jay60,

it is possible to view expired future contracts by using eg 'H2006' instead of the regular month/year format 'H6'. That means if you wish to view Dax September 2005, you will have to type AX U2005-DT.
If you can't pull the data, please use a time template and define the amount of bars/days you wish to view.

Please be aware that we only have 120 days worth of intraday available on our servers at the moment, so you won't be getting any intraday data prior to that date.

Thanks Christine,

I didn't think you would to use a different code format.
