Just as a matter of interest, are you guys talking intra day data or end
of day data?

Betreff: 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 !)

2 yrs of tick data. That is criminal.
