Extended Historical Data

In TradeStation, an extensive online database provides historical market data that can be used for back-testing and analysis over extended time periods. Daily and all intraday data for up to a year back from the current date is available on-demand for use in charts and other data windows. Additional data for previous time periods is offered for download based on user selected criteria (see About Download Scheduler).

• Stocks and Indexes - Tick-by-tick data is available for six months back; minute data for ten years back (or more); and daily, weekly, and monthly data for more than 30 years back.
• Futures - Tick-by-tick data for six months back; minute data for 10 years back (or more); and daily, weekly, and monthly data back 20 years or more.   
• Options - Data is available for options that have not yet expired. Historical data is available since the beginning of trading of the option.

Futures and options contracts that expire in the distant future may have little or no data due to light trading.
