# Add current contract + distant (expired) contracts for this year if required.<br><div style="background-color: #E5F6FF;">'''Example''': Today's date is 06.10.11; the last date in your file is 04.10.11 (all dd.mm.yy); CLU1 (September contact) should be added because the last date you have is before the expiration date of CLV1 (October contract).</div>
# Import all data from the file into CLU1, but not after its expiration date so several days of minute data are not imported. It's recommended to import any data after the expiration date: for CLU1 you should not import anything after its expiration on 22.08.11.
# In MultiCharts Main Menu please go to '''File''', then click on '''Preferences''' and select '''Data Server Mode''' tab. Check the '''Show Datra Data Server Mode dialog box on startup''' box.
# Close all MC products and make sure all [[MultiCharts Processes]] are off.
# Open MultiCharts; select '''Offline Mode'''; plot CLU1 chart: 1 day resolution, using the whole range of data you have imported.
