Backtesting - Where to Find Historical Data for the E-Minis?

Hi everyone

 

I was wondering where can you find free Historical Data for the E-minis to Backtest....?

The easiest for me, using NinjaTrader, was to get a demo account with Zen-Fire. It seems you can reup the demo about every other 30 days.

You can buy it from various places as just the data. However, if you took iqfeed for a month, you'd get accurate historical data at a pretty reasonable price. Broker feeds won't go that far back. Plus if you're backtesting you'll want something accurate. You could of course take a free trial at a broker and see if you get enough data.

You could try sierra chart's Sierra Chart Historical Intraday Futures Data Service:

 

Sierra Chart Historical Intraday Futures Data Service

 

There is a 15 day free trial but I don't think this data service is included. But with Sierra Charts it is pay as you go so you could just buy a month of usage and download the data you require.

 

 

I had trouble cancelling iqfeed.
