Extended Tick Data
Recently, we released an additional 30 days of historical tick data for our Extended History Data subscribers. With this package, priced at 10 dollars per month, you can dramatically increase the amount of historical intraday data and tick history available to you for charting, back testing or replaying the data back. The recent increase in tick data is from 10 to 40 days.
Back Testing
One of the huge benefits of having all that historical tick data is that the back testing feature of the Advanced Charts can now provide a much broader view of the markets when you are using tick-based charts -- that is, charts built off tick data such as 144T (144 ticks per bar) or 5000V (5,000 contracts per bar).
The strategy analyzer graph shown below came from a 2.5R tick chart (2.50 range per bar) on the Russell 2000 Futures, using the built-in EMA back testing study (btEMA.efs) set to a 35 period. It had excellent returns, netting 49 percent in 40 days although the draw-down was a bit high in some periods.
eSignal 11 Preview Updated
By the time this "hits the stands" (i.e., your email inbox), we will have the next version of eSignal 11 Preview available on the eSignal Beta Testing Forum; this will include a new option chain window and eSignal translated into 8 languages!
