"A less accurate alternative is to obtain tick data from a supplier, but the advantage is that an existing large historical record exists."

Here is a free source of tick data http://ratedata.gaincapital.com/. The quality may be suspect.

I wish I can help you, but I can't because I have the same probblem.

I don't know where to get reliable 5-min bar data back to 5 or more years. I gradually building my data by adding new data for current data files. You need also a data that is extrated from your own broker.

To overcome 50 000 bars limit in FSB opeb config.xml fail and set:

300
500000
500000

Hey Guys,

I have developed several strategies, however I want to back test them for a longer period.

I use 5-minute and 1-hour bars strategies.

For the 5-minute bars strategies, the longest history data I've found (from MT4 Alpari-UK) is for about 10 months back. In addition, the FSB analyses 50,000 bars max.

I would like to test the strategies during the last 3 (or even 5) years, but I don't know from where to get the data and how to analyse more than 200,000 bars (for 5 years - approx. 350,000 bars).

For the 1-hour bars strategies, I tested the last 3 years already, however I would like to go further here and test 5-10 years back. I have the same problems - I cannot find the history data required (5 to 10 years history) and I am also going to need to analyse approx. 100,000 bars.

I guess you guys have been through this as well, and I will appreciate your advice and sharing experience!!!

Best,
Martin
