How many years of backtesting do you use for testing stocks?

  1. I'm considering dropping off some data for my intraday data for my historical database. Currently using the last 7 years, but I think the last 3 years should be sufficient for my purposes which is what I've been weighting anyway.

    For longer term analysis, I like using as much as available, but still weighting the newest data more.
