Hi John, TradeStation is the market leader and the 'standard' backtesting package. It depends on which instruments you are interested in but I believe they hold over 10 years of 1 min data for US stocks and futures and 30 days of tick data. It costs between $100 and $200 per month (+ exchange fees) depending on what options you choose. I don't know you mean by 'best' data. It seems reliable and OK to me. Cheers Martin
Here is a snapshot. Our system lets you go back in time and see what alerts were triggered and when and you can tweek those settings as much as you want
Socal Would this let me set a filter of a moving average difference? Such that the difference in the 20ma and the 10ma is <25 cents,etc? Thanks
We have a screener section that tries to predict in which names a moving average is likely to cross another as well as some other stats. http://www.trade-ideas.com/StockInfo/ I don't know if that will meet your needs. We have a real-time alert that shows you when stocks cross their 20, 50, and 200 day moving average in real-time and when that is confirmed by volume. http://www.trade-ideas.com/Help.html#CA200 Hope this helps
Those are very nice. Very close to what I was looking for. I just wasn't looking for the volatility in the denominator. Also I was looking for the end of day type calculation on an intraday basis. Would I be able to take the list from the end of day screen and then further screen it? Thanks
