Where can I get older tick data?

[timmbbo]

Hi there, might you (or anyone else) know a source for multi-year tick data for Strategy Analysis?

I'm aware that I download up to year's worth of tick data (thank you). However, I'd like to run the Strategy Analyzer for at least a couple of years. I'm aware there's commercial sources for archaic for Replay Playback (i.e., The Intentional Trader), however, I can't find a source for tick data. I wouldn't think I'm the first person who wants to run the Strategy Analyzer for more than the last 12 months.

Any insight into tick data sources? Thanks

Hello timmbbo ,

Thank you for reaching out.

The available historical data that populates within NT8 will depend on what data provider you connect to.

Connections that use the NinjaTrader Historical Data Servers are Rithmic, CQG based connections, and certain Forex connections when selected within the connection settings.

*The amount of historical data available for connections that do not use the NinjaTrader Historical Data Servers would be dependent on the provider and you may reach out to them for more information.

The amount of data stored on the NinjaTrader Historical Data Servers:

• historical tick data - 1 year
• historical minute/day data - usually 10+ years
• playback data - 90 days - Futures and Forex instruments only

Note this amount may vary slightly depending on the specific instrument.

Unfortunately, when you are downloading from our Historical data servers, you have to specify the quarterly contract dates.

The only other way would be for you to find some other source to download that large amount of data, and then import it to NT8.

You can research providers by Google searching "historical tick data download or download more historical data for NT8"

Note that the data has to be in specific format to be imported onto NT8.
