Re: Tradestation 10-Yr Historical Data

Not only is it verging on criminal, but it goes against all their years of pushing the philosophy of historical backtesing ability of TS.   Everyone knows backtesting on 2 years data is a joke.

But only having 2 years data on their servers plays into the hands of system vendors who claim to only use TS7 and can only show the performance of their system for last 2 years (hey, it ain't my fault TS hasn't got more data to backtest with !)
