Re: Cannot use TickStory (Download issue)
AS the Forex daa is giving me no trouble, I'll use TickStory for that. I'm now getting my ETF, Stock, Commodity and so on from Alpha Vantage so this is a moot point. Thank you for your quick responses.

Re: Starting dates of stocks
I now get my data from Alpha Vantage. The API download is amazingly fast. I cannot get tick level data, but I can get 21 years of 1-minute files. I'll continue getting Forex data via TickStory --no issues with that download.

Re: Starting dates of stocks
I found that by inserting a starting date in 2017 that stock data can be downloaded from earlier than 2026. However, I get a ton of errors and it took about 10 hours to download 9 stocks. It would appear that the stock data starts to be available on 1/1/2018. I am still downloading using only 2 inst...

Starting dates of stocks
I woul dlike ot have at least 5 years of stock data to backtest against. Hopefully you can see the attached image which shows data starting in 2026. Is that a fixed date or is there a way to get earlier data?

Re: Cannot use TickStory (Download issue)
More oddities: Well, I'm now creating files and TickStory is not trying to download. It's behaving as it has in the past. I am writing 32 files simultaneously and that seems to be moving along very nicely. NO THAT IS WRONG! IT JUST STARTED TRYING TO DOWNLOAD AGAIN WHILE CREATING 5 MINUTE FILES. Then...

Cannot use TickStory (Download issue)
I have an active subscription. For years I have been able to select 28 Forex pairs and click on download and update my data. I've been doing the same with indices, and some crypto. I decided to run a backtest on stocks so I selected all stocks and told TickStory (version 1.9.8.14) to download. When ...
