Do I need 3 years worth of data? I trade on the 5M and I can get 100+ trades in less than a month or two. Within a year of data I can have hundreds of entry results. And what account are we talking about? FTMO? What about the Dukascopy data? From what I saw online it seems like most people consider it to be good data.

Get enough data that you want. 3 years is fine, and yep; from Dukascopy.

But depending if you are using MT4 or MT5, you might need to create a custom symbol for instance. I believe in your case you’d be better off using MT5
