I have spoken to various MBT Service Officers, it seems to me that its impossible for me to get backfills on ninjatrader or quotetrader.

And the likely case is for me to purchase datafeed. Is esignal the only known provider that offers mbt/tdfx feed?

I have read that treva has made a cool connecter for mt4. An Robik has managed to accumulate 2years worth of tick data would robik be willing to charge a price for us to use data backfills from efx?

oh man i sounded desperate lol.

Hey Jest,

Why do you need data from MB. I had the same problem with a couple of brokers a few years back and I just got my data from another source. The data should be close enough to test what ever algo you have. A good algo will run with well with anyone's data so I am not sure why you need MB's so badly?

coz it would be best if i can have accurate pips. I trade using ticks. Isnt it funny that i have to draw tick data from other brokers just so that i can have enough tick data. My own broker cant offer me that. Forex data is readily available anywhere free...why i would prefer mbt feed is bcoz fx market is not centralised, so the real data is the one that the broker is offering you.

It seems to me that efx is more than happy to ask their customers to pay for charts and data....

fxtrek gives u a decent (decent is being nice here) charting platform for 50 bucks per month
and e signal gives u their historical data for 125 bucks per month......

I completely understand your frustration. However, in my experience it is not common for brokers or banks to offer historical data. I dont know if this is still the case but I imagine it is. Even though there is no centralized exchange the data from one firm when compared to another should be very similar and it really shouldnt make a big difference. Does MB have a an export feature? I have set up my platform to export all of the tick data into an excel sheet. This allows me to get all of the tick data I need. It wont allow you to get past info but it will allow you to start building your own tick data from now on.

sadly they don't. hahaha.
well, then mb should not have made agreements with so much chart providers if we cant even access some form of historical data. Im just annoyed that i've a sum for an integrated platform where i can trade futures, stocks and to an extent fx but i am not offered backfills. I may just start trading with Interactive Brokers instead.
