Data Type question

[kenb2004]

In order to backtest a strategy using a 10 sec chart, which historical data do I need, minute or tick data? And where is the Historical Data Manager located in NinjaTrader 7?
Thanks

kenb2004,

You will need tick data. The historical data manger is located in Tools > Historical Data Manager.

Here is some more information on it : http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...ta_manager.htm

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Where could I get 10 years of tick data for CL and ES?

kenb2004,

Unfortunately I am not aware of any data providers that offer this many years of tick data. Generally they stick to about 3-6 months. If you want this much data you would probably need to obtain it from a 3rd party and import it into NinjaTrader.

Please let me know if I may assist further.
