# Open MultiCharts; select '''Offline Mode'''; plot CLU1 chart: 1 day resolution, using the whole range of data you have imported.
# In MultiCharts please go to '''File''' and click '''Export data''' to export daily data from the chart.
# Open '''QuoteManager''' and import this daily data to the CLU1 instrument (see [[Importing Data|Importing ASCII data]]).
# [[Setting Properties#Editing an Existing Symbol Properties|Rename]] the '''CLV1''' to '''CLV2011''' (for example). It should be made not to request data from the data source, so the imported data (both daily and minutes) is not replaced with data from the server when you reload your chart.
# Create a [[Custom Futures|Creating a Custom Futures symbol|Custom Futures]] (date rollover is preferred).<br><div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note''': Sometimes a customer can face a problem when the expiration rule doesn't coincide with expiration dates of individual contracts, so we recommend to change the rollover dates when you create custom futures for 1-2 days so those 1-2 days of data will be taken from a distant contract and not the current one. It will help you to avoid gaps in your chart.</div>
