Zenfire is similar to MBTrading; no historical data backfill for
charts. NinjaTrader addresses this issue by maintaining their own
historical data servers (like TradeStation does).
TransAct's data feed does have historical chart data. I don't think
they have continuous contracts, just historical data for each futures
contract.
