Accuracy of Tradestation's Data

Has anyone verify the accuracy of Tradestation's Data, especially, their historical data on the Eminis?

I just signed up for a trial of their platform, and I noticed that their NQ data is inaccurate.
(e.g. Their end of day data on the NQ according to 12/30/05 is: Open: 1668, High: 1669.5, Low: 1667.5, Close: 1669.5)

We all know that this data is supposed to be the for 12/29/05. It seems as though they got the date mixed up. This is not a very good first impression! It leads me to question the accuracy of their entire historical data on E-minis.

Furthermore, the historical data on NQ that I have is very different from what Tradestation has. Now, I am not sure which is the accurate one.

So, could you guys give me the some historical data, just a few days (preferrably a couple months back), so that we can determine how accurate Tradestation data really is.
 
the 12/30 data is for the open at 15:31 central time for the overnight session. open 68, high 70 , low 67.5, close of present bar 69
 
It defaults to a 4:15 ET close. So 12/30 technically began at 4:30.
24 hour Data is useless noise anyway. Try NDH06.P for 12/29 Pit session.

If you change the session start/end you can create any session.

It's not a TradeStation issue.
 
Dont' know if i know how to change the session start/end, yet! Just started using it! Didn't even read the guide!
 
Does anyone know if you can you likn Tradestation 8 to another morem reliable datasource like from Thomson or Prophet data?
