Hello,

I have nice forex strategy and I would like to backtest this strategy on at least 1year historical data.
When I clicked on EXTERNAL DATA FEED in my NinjaTrader7 I could open chart with $EURUSD, $GBPUSD etc.

But when I backtested my strategy yesterday, I saw that NinjaTrader7 downloaded data just from march till current date.
But it's not enought of data for the backtest. As I told I would need at least 1year data (1.1.2009 - 31.12.2009).

I found some historical data on some pages, but it was 1minute data and that is not enought detailed.
I have scalping strategy and this strategy needs to work with every single tick of the price, so I really need 1 year historical TICK data.
Something like what I receive when I am connected to EXTERNAL DATA FEED.

Could you please advice me where I can download/buy these data?
I really need them :)
Is it possible to get more historical data from the EXTERNAL DATA FEED in NinjaTrader7 ?
If not, could you please write here any link where I can download really detailed TICK data?

Thank you very much
Have a nice day ;)
