Hello,
Is June 23 2014 the maximum amount of Historical Tick data I can get for a replay back test. Is there any way I can get more? Other data providers? Thanks.

Apologies, the symbol might help, for ES. I have one copy of SC connected to SC Data(this is what I'm using for backtesting) and one to Iq feed. I am Currently using SC data because it has more historical tick data than IQ feed correct? Just wondering who provides the most historical tick data for auto back testing?

Yes there are at least four years of tick by tick data for the ES futures available.

Ok thanks, and how many years of historical bid ask volume?

It will be the same amount. We would have to check but there is going to be at least 4 to 5 years of tick by tick data with Bid Volume and Ask Volume.

Although I performed these tests for NQ, I believe the results for ES would be the same.

For delayed historical data, the Sierra Chart Daily and Intraday Historical Data Service (SCHDS) is an alternative to the Sierra Chart Real-time and Historical Exchange Data Feed (SCDF).

It is included with Packages 3 and 5 and does not require a supported Trading Service nor exchange fees.

Sierra Chart has confirmed that the source of the data is the same as for SCDF historical data requests.

The extent of expired CME futures contracts is the same as for SCDF, i.e. back to June, 2008. Tests have established the cut-over when SCHDS historical futures data changed from 1-minute resolution to 1-tick resolution – NQZ10 is the last 1-minute contract and NQH11 is the first 1-tick contract.

All 1-tick contracts include BidVol/AskVol. The ability of SCHDS to provide expired futures contracts with 1-tick resolution back to March 2011 (five years) has been verified.

Expired futures contracts may be downloaded by keying in the symbol, or by the Continuous Futures Contacts method. SCHDS symbols (e.g. NQH11) differ from SCDF symbols (e.g. NQ-201603-GLOBEX), so an automated trading program would have to accommodate this difference when promoted from historical testing to operational status.

Thank you for the details.

This is actually an Interactive Brokers symbol:

NQ-201603-GLOBEX

which is internally remapped to NQH16
