Hi,

I know historical market depth data is limited to 15 days back. Is there any way to purchase more historical data for backtesting purposes? I am looking for a year or two of a few futures markets.

Thank you.

The amount of historical market depth data depends upon the symbol. There is more data available than this.

You need to follow the instructions here:
Market Depth Historical Graph: Downloading Of Historical Market Depth Data

You will be able to access all of it. We do not maintain anything more than what a user can access. It is deleted because it takes so much space.

Thank you.

I found what I was doing wrong, I was trying to load much older data on a chart using continuous contracts for futures assuming it would load the historical depth for each past contract. If I manually changed the chart to the older contracts I was then able to get more historical data.

Yes that probably does make sense.
