Trade Data Historically?

[Jim-Boulder]

Can you clarify for me if I am using Zen-Fire data which shows in your guide to historical data table as providing tick data historically, whether this means that I will be able to track trade x trade (tick x tick) on historical data?

For example if I have a 3 minute chart, will I be able to process the data in the past on a tick x tick basis? Or would this only be in real time that this is possible?

Jim Boulder, you can download tick data, but the only way you'd be able to get it play back is if you tested on a 1 tick data series. Alternatively, you could utilize the Market Replay feature, which would download tick data recorded from the Zen-Fire stream, and then play it back tick-by-tick. The Strategy Analyzer is designed to run on a bar-by-bar basis, which is why you'd need to go to a single tick "bar" to get that resolution.
