Post From: Quality of intraday data

I have been backtesting strategies with the accurate backtesting method and one thing that came to mind is how accurate or good is the tick data that Sierra offers. IQFeed or other services for instance charge for intraday futures (tick) data up to 180 days past, while in Sierra charts you can go further back than that. These services charge for data a LOT more than what you can do with Sierra, which is basically just the monthly payment for the platform if you want historical data. This is why this question came to mind, since there is a huge difference in price between the 2. Sierra, could you please clarify if on accurate backtesting you are using actual intraday tick data, and if you know what difference there might be in data provided by other services that basically only offer the data at these high prices? Also if your data 180 days and further back is also reliable? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2017-01-30 20:07:12
