wealth-lab newbie

uhhhh..i am a total backtesting newb.

i would like to test some ideas with wealth-lab using intraday ES data. 2 questions:

where do i get the intraday ES data?

do i need the developer program to do this, or can i just use their web site?

thanks
 
Unfortunatly real time does not work on the web site yet, but we are working on it. I think it will be possible shortly after or arround the release date of version 3 until then you have to buy WLD2 for intra day data testing (which isn't bad for us too :).
 
Hi Gekko,

As many says, WLD as a standalone application is really powerful.
At the very begining, I used to play around with the server side service, but the standalone is so much better.
Especially, if you test intra, it is must-have.

As for the data, you can download intraday historical from eSignal or Qchart.
For longer period and continous futures data, you may want to buy from a vendor.

TickData is good with thier own application.
DiskTrading is very cheap and good.

Good Luck

Ken
 
PS.

1% profit target-no stoploss, right?
I am very pessimistic on that idea, can easily imagin how big the drawdown gonnage even if it slightly worked.
