Hourly Data Feed

[Loren1711]

Alright, this is the first time I have done any sort of backtesting or done anything in NinjaTrader.

To start, I am trying to decide which data feed I should pursue.

Basically, I need as much hourly data as possible, preferably for as little (money) as possible.

I just need data for back testing, so no live feed, if that makes a difference. I just want to run the system, and then tweak it and see what happens.

Any and all suggestions are appreciated. Let me know if any other information would be useful.

Thanks,
Loren

Hello,

If all you want is historical data, your cheapest route would be to ask another trader for it. So I will let a trader reply and help you hopefully.

From this I'm deducting that it's possible for another trader to send me a file with hourly data spanning some time period that can be imported into Ninjatrader.

If possible, I am in need of index etf hourly data. Preferably for the Iwm, SPY, Qs and DIA, but most important is the IWM.

If this doesn't work out, can anyone enlighten me as to the amount of data provided and the costs associated with different data feeds?

Thanks,
Loren

Hello Loren,

Unfortunately we do not have this information listed regarding all supported data feed providers. See the link below for information we have listed.

I suggest to contact the data feed providers themselves regarding this information.
