Russell 2000? It will be very difficult to find a list of components from 1990; Russell makes it hard to find a list of the current 2000 symbols. And if you do find the '90 list, as many of the companies will be long gone (delisted, merged, ...), it will be even more difficult to find...

eSignal has 120 days of tick I think. For 2 years, you have one choice: tickdata.com :( Do you really need tick? You will find more choices if you can substitute minute data instead.

Most charting apps (ex. AmiBroker) have a scanner module. Not free however.

Just write a script. 25 lines max in PHP to do this. 1. Read each line. 2. grab date/time 3. offset date/time 4. write back out to new file.

You need to offset the data in the file before you import into tradestation.

IB is based on snapshot quotes. But when you want free, you can't be picky. :)

You will need an account, but IB is a good choice for lost cost data.

You also might want to try WinDirStat to find where the space is being used. http://windirstat.info/

The problem is simulated historical data will be random; and markets are not random beasts (although they look that way sometimes). A similar thread was discussed on ET a couple week back: Developing a profitable system(infrastructure) on a (pseudo-)random data

The EOD correlation will not translate to an ultra-short time frame of 1min.

prosserd, It looks like you have everything under control so good luck with your port. Because 2000i has not been updated since 2000 (2001?), some annoyances can be expected (even during installation depending on OS). I personally keep it installed in VMWare so it remains portable.

There is no code in the paper you linked??? It states it is a condensed version. The host site (http://www.tradingpatterns.com/) is also no longer active: "UNDER CONSTRUCTION"? Where is the link to the full paper with code? So alex, let me ask a serious backtester, like yourself, to read...

http://disktrading.is99.com/disktrading/ http://www.tickdata.com/ The second has better quality data but is more expensive.

Maybe? Maybe is a very uncertain word. Maybe Amibroker is the flawed program? Maybe NinjaTrader? Maybe MetaStock? How can you say to avoid one program and make another recommendation without knowing what programs were tested? I do a great amount of back-testing for both myself and others and...

No problems here. Check your DNS.

Any financial programmer who is experienced will NOT work for beer money. :)

What platform are you using? Each platform should have a list of registered developers that can be of help.

If you only need a snapshop, you can do this through yahoo, google, or any other free website that provides last price quotes (delayed or real-time). I do something similar with PHP and yahoo/googl quotes. Just code up a program that will iterate through a list of symbols and pull the current...
