Hi
i am trying to find reliable historical tick data for the FTSE 100 index (going back as far as possible) for backtesting some new strategies i'm looking at.
I would like to import the data into excel so that i can play around with it. Failing that then flexible bactesting s/w would do.
I am using SB companies at the mo and do not have trading platforms.
With this in mind, could somebody possibly point me in the right direction for
a: the best free data and s/w or excel import s/w ? (I hear Yahoo is a bit dodgy and have also seen livechart free stuff appears out of sync with other chart data i've compared with)
b: the best data money can buy and the best s/w or excel imprt s/w money can buy.
c: the best budget combination
many thanks in advance
p.s if anybody has such data available then i would be very very grateful if i could "loan" it for analysis..![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
