    Hi,

    Anyone have any understanding of the differences between TS and TS Global - the latter would have been more convenient for me (as not US based) but after downloading/opening an account, I realized they pull IBKR data, whereas my understanding is that TS has its own data?

    Are there any material differences?

    Much appreciated,

    I think you pretty much got it , you'll need a IBKR account I believe.

    Thanks, I do have a IBKR account. I heard TS historical data is good and in the format I need actually, so I'm assuming this doesn't necessarily apply to TS Global - does it offer backtesting?

    Less concerned about current/market data. Thanks

    I had as brief look at it a while back , I think a problem is it ties you in , and trading costs were more expensive or something?
