  Hi,

  I am running PRT 12 with IG, I can backtest with 1M data this is good until 15/20minutes timeframe.

  If I move to timeframe such as 10/20/30 seconds 1M data is too short.

  is it possible to request moe historical data ? how ? is something related to the broker (in my case IG) ?

  Can I load custom data history from a CSV file ?

  How can we solve this issue ?

  1M bars is the maximum anybody can get and then only when using the Premium version.

  Loads of have 200k bars only maximum as we use the ‘Complete’ version.

  Thank you, I am using the premium service with IG, but 1M data is not enough for backtesting and validating strategies that work on high timeframes like seconds, not to mention tick data. If there is no solution for adding more data (with a paid subscription), this is a significant limitation of the platform. Has anyone else experienced the same issue?

  1M bars is a built-in limit than cannot be exceeded.
