Figured out the problem, for whatever reason metatrader will not download historical data on the 15 minute chart going back more than a couple weeks. I tried on a different forex broker and its the same issue. I can manually scroll back on one and get more data which will then save to my computer for testing but if I go to History center and ask for updated data it doesn't provide it. Does anyone know where I can download the CSV for different pairs. Particularly energy CFD

You need history for all timeframes below your test chart.
-
On MT4: if you don't have any history, here's how you can get all available from your broker.
- Most brokers only have 32 or 65K bars of history per timeframe. That's 45 days of M1, 2.5 years on M15, etc.

Otherwise, you will have to download history from elsewhere. MT4 history: How to Start with Metatrader 5 - General - MQL5 programming forum - Page 94 #932 (2017)
