Kinetick currently has a cheap feed for testing, but it includes prints only. My strategy utilizes level 1 quotes to determine the entries and exits. It doesn't matter if the quotes are delayed as long as they're realistic. Getting a delayed feed that has data from multiple sources with each source delayed by different times will be misleading and worse than worthless. My preference would be to see a feed with level 1 quotes that is delayed by exactly one day, so the time for the quote is identical to my computer's clock, which keeps me from having to reprogram the strategy after it's working. Plus, it gives me the luxury of knowing that a specific stock moved wildly on Wednesday so I could watch the strategy "trade" it on Thursday.
Does anybody else agree this would be a valuable tool for testing?
