Hi, I use NT8 and have built a strategy with "Strategy Builder" and would like to verify it with last 5, 10 or 15 years of Data for some micro futures instruments, like MCL, MES, M2K, MES, MYM, MNQ, MGC. Otherwise, MC, ES, RTY, YM, NQ, GC would do the job too! Do you know if its these are available somewhere? The Broker I use give me only 3-4 years. Thanks,

Most of the Micro's don't have history like that, they just haven't been around that long.

With the full size contracts I'm surprised that you can't get more than 3-4 years of history. If I log into Tradestation I can get 20+ years of history for contracts like CL, ES, GC etc. Is this free data?
