Hello,

Back at the helm here, and wondering what the historical limitations are with data from Sierra Charts? Currently doing Forex. Not sure if I have access to stock market historical data or not, could not find any.

But, for Forex, is there a list of how far back we go, and which pairs have what data available?

And also, how to set that up for download and for access?

For instance, the EU file says 1993. Is that as far back as it goes here? Do we have further access? How do we find out? Thank you for your help!

There is no exact answer that can be given to a question like this. We do not maintain this information. Generally it depends upon the symbol, the data type and the particular Data or Trading service being used.

In the case of the SC Forex data service, generally there is at least 10 years of Historical Daily data available and historical Intraday data goes back to December 2007.

However, there are no guarantees about either of these depending upon the symbol.

In the case of Historical Daily data, all available data is always downloaded.

If you got data back to 1993 that is quite good and you should not expect anything more.

The best way to answer this question is to simply open a chart and see how much data you get. You can check by going into Chart >> Chart Settings.
