Historical Tick Data strategy analysis both backtesting and optimization

[iplaymuzik]

Good Afternoon,

I need help getting tick data before February 2022 for my strategy analyzer(SA). All of my backtesting/optimizations are based on the Heiken Ashi. When I run my analysis for historical fill processing, I always set order fill resolution on 'high' and the type on 'tick.' While these results always take longer, they yield the most comprehensive results. When I try to set the time frame before February 2022, The optimization/backtest always starts in February 2022 when the filling processing is set on tick. When I change it to 'standard(fastest)' I can backtest/optimize to 2020.

With all that said, I have two questions, is there a way through my regular ninja trader historical data access to retrieve and utilize tick data going back to 2022? And, if not, is there a provider or service I can access to connect or import that data in a way compatible with the Ninjatrader strategy analyzer?

Hello iplaymuzik,

With NinjaTrader connections, historical tick data only goes back 1 year, while minute and daily data go back as far as has been recorded, which is 2006 for some instruments.

Hello iplaymuzik,

You can import historical tick data from file from a 3rd party.
