Who said it had to be streaming or even downloadable. You're making the assumptions, not me. TAQ data can be had on dvds for CQS/CTS.

Hello,
Because you tend to state some meaningless stuff like "almost but not
quite",
Let us be precise and say that it means one MILLION 1-minute bars.
That is 40 megabytes per symbol binary data PER SYMBOL
(when sent by IQFeed it is more because it is sent as text).
Now if you want to get 1300 symbols (IQFeed subscription) it means *52
GIGABYTES* of data.
Now Google some and check how much it costs to actually transfer
that amount of data (lookup some hosting companies).
(With rate is 0.50/GB, so it would be $26 for *bandwidth* costs for
backfill *alone*,
not counting real time streaming).
Then maybe you start adjusting down your expectations, because data vendors
must not only pay their bandwidth bills, but also pay for data,
employees, servers, etc.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko

If you upgrade to their extended intraday data package, the extended data goes back 10 years but is only accessible through their program. You cannot access the extended data through Amibroker or any other outside package. This is obviously a marketing strategy to "force" people to switch to using eSignal to backtest. Big mistake.
