What software do you guys use to download IQFeed's historical day from its database? (Both intraday and daily data.) It would be great if it's a free software.

On Pitrading website they say its data is compatible with Ninjatrader but when I bought the data and tried to import, I found out Pitrading's historical data format was not the same as NT's. Any1 encountered this problem? What did you do?

Hi there, I am new to trading so I hope you guys can help me with this question: Are there months of the year that stock prices are more volatile than other months?

And can it be used with ninjatrader?

Hi everybody I'm new to trading and looking for some help with some problems. Right now I'm learning about backtesting but still don't know what platform or data feed would be the best for backtesting purpose.

Thanks for the advice Tom, can you recommend any good backtesting platforms?

Hi there, I'm looking for good 5-min data for some ETFs and stocks such as SPY, QQQQ, RIMM and AMZN. The data i get from IQFeed seem to have a lot of bad ticks (range suddenly explodes 10 fold). I need good data without bad ticks like that in order to back test effectively. Can you guys tell me...

I use ninjatrader 7 to backtest and it has only 3 options for prices: ask, bid, last. If I use "last" option I would get my backtest results but with those outliers taken into consideration. The other 2 options, ask and bid, did not generate any results at all. Can you recommend any trustworthy...

I noticed that there are a lot of bars misprinted while I backtested my 5-min chart (maybe due to bad data feed?) and their highs or lows go way way beyond what the normal range would be. this can really make my backtesting results inaccurate. Does anyone have the same problem when they...
