I installed this trading object and started a download - it says Download successfully completed but the Custom databases (commitments_trader)
for ES, CD and other financial futures symbols are all empty.
Pl try it and see if you're having hte same issue.
Also, pl advise how to download data successfully using tihs Downloader.
The downloader is working well. You can debug it if you want:

Just make sure that the symbols are in your database (ES, CD...) and that they are specified in the "symbols" tab of the downloader.
Example:
CANADIAN DOLLAR=CD
One thing I noticed is as the year changes, if the from date is previous year, it downloads zip file only till the previous year. so, the from date should be made from current year.
Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
