    When I'm backtesting the strategy, I'm encountering the error in AB (or ER e-mini Russell 2000 futures) in that they don't go back far enough in history.

    And I cannot seem to get AB #F=2 to backtest only RTH sessions.

    Oh, and is there a NASDAQ a/d like esignal has NYSE's $ISSU?

    JT47319,

    I can't account for the error when backtesting, but i should inform you that you should not use AB #f=2. You should just use AB #F, and then set the Time Template to whatever start and end time you wish for the session. I find that i can get data back to March 25th on an intraday chart, and back to October of 2001 on a Daily chart. Do you need data back farther than that?
    I'm not sure if eSignal has a symbol similar to $ISSU or not. Have you consulted the Symbol Lookup Guide found here:
