Help with replay data feed

[bigbeartrader]

I am trying to backtest a strategy from 2013 through 2015 (3 years). Im using NT7 with a FXCM data feed. Here are the steps I am taking:

1. Open NT7
2. Go to Tools -> Historical Data Manager
3. Click the download tab
4. Select $EURUSD, Start Date 1/1/2013, End Date 12/31/2015, Minute, Last
5. Click Download
6. This is all while connected to the FXCM data feed
7. Disconnect from FXCM and connect to the replay feed
8. I open a EURUSD chart and go through the data but when I hit 1/16/2013 it stops the data.

It cant better that the data doesnt go back to 2013 because Im replaying 1/1/2013 - 1/16/2013 just fine. It wont show me anymore data until 12/4/2015. What am I doing wrong here?

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

Historical data and market replay data are different types of data. Unfortunately, it is not possible to power Market Replay using historical data.

Please right click in the Market Replay control window and select Available Data. In the Available Data menu, please click the '+' button to the left of $EURUSD to expand a list of available replay data. In this list, do you see any Level I data for days between 1/16/13 and 12/4/15?

How it is possible to have 2013 and 2015 data. Can I get 2013 through 2015 data?
