Is really old data availble ?

[steve421]

I want to do some backtesting & need daily or weekly data before 1985 of any indices or stocks or futures.

Is it availble from eSignal ? If yes how do I get it ?

Thanks

Hi Alexis,

It just says 10+ years but how do I find out how many years beyond 10 years ?

Thanks

steve421,

The +10 only applies to certain symbols. If you have access to the instrument you can load it in a chart and see how far back it goes. If not you can post a specific symbol and I will tell you how much data we have for it.
