How far back can I backtest?

 

How far back can I back test?

I tried 1H, and was able to go back to only 4 months.


I would like to know how far I would be able to go back?

for 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1H, 4H, daily, weekly?


Are the amount back testing data available broker dependent?

If so, which broker provide the most back testing data? I am using demo.


Thanks!

 

You can download more data from the metaquotes site.

Just be sure to do it in your demo and not live account.

You do it through the "tools->history center' (or simply F2)
