Data source needed for German DAX Future!

Quote from esmjb:

i sell a currency future against the euros i make and then just let it expire and take delivery on the dollars. this eliminates the shitty conversion rate i was getting. i sell some futures whenever i think the euro is at a good level to convert, like last week i sold at $1.23. im not trying to call tops in it i just look for levels where i would be happy to convert at.

Thanks for the reply. Thats an interesting idea.
 
Hi,

I am looking into daytrading the DAX, However, I need historical intraday data to test some systems. I haven't been able to find historical quotes neither on the net nor at the data suppliers. Does anyone have any idea where I can find this?

How reliable? It's collected directly from IB and I trust IB data for my live trading. How reliable it is for backtesting I can't say but I really don't know that much about backtesting. Note that scmagic data is mostly used for backfill for sierra charts.

I use their data for backfill and I am happy with the service. For backtesting you can buy from them historical data as 1min or tick data files and if I remember well it's only $20 for a file so you could give it a try.

Good trading
