Bookelise I have never used QLink. I have extensively back tested in the past using Technifilter Plus.

I now rely on those tests by using a few indicators that I determined work best for me. Those indicators are put to use visually over multiple time frames in conjunction with the price action’s interactions with patterns, tend lines and horizontal support/resistance price action points.

Charts are a visual medium and for me using them as such is what works best for me. Sure the computations and line constructions for the charts must be structurally sound and mechanically correct, however the interpretation is done visually, using the brain as the "black box" so to speak...ggg

Regards,
LG

Brookelise,

Now I use eSignal's Excel utility for RT data in spreadsheets

Does eSignal have a more significant historical amount of intraday bar or tick data available for download, just not as live charts? Like QLink?

Like LG, I find historical intraday chart very useful. However I develop a system or strategy, there is nothing like putting it to a blind test bar by bar over different historical intraday periods. Unless of course the system is strictly mechanical computer generated signals. Raw data is fine for those studies.
