Do you use QLink, LG? That's where I found the extensive history helpful. I'd test MACD, for example, for 5-min. intervals, with all sorts of periods. In many cases the results were revealing. Some traders' long-held favorite periods really did turn out to be the periods that tested well. And some newly vaunted periods turned out to have abysmal results. Also, I could test 5-min. signals against 30-min. signals, comparing profits for various systems.

So I don't know about eyeballing historical intraday data. I didn't look very far back with that. But I did find QLink useful in Excel. I actually found QLink a lot more useful than QFeed, because QFeed was too unreliable at the time.

Now I use eSignal's Excel utility for RT data in spreadsheets, and combine it with historical daily data from Quotes Plus 2.
