Hello,

I am looking for high-quality historical tick-by-tick data for the E-mini S&P 500 (ES), going back to 2020.

My specific goal is to use 2,000 ticks per bar charts. I am NOT looking for time-based charts such as 1-minute, 5-minute, etc.
I want the historical data to be detailed and accurate enough to reconstruct the 2,000-tick bars exactly as they would have appeared from the original market data, with good visual quality and no missing or aggregated data.
I would then like to use Sierra Chart's Chart Replay to replay these historical sessions and practice trading without seeing future price action.
Could you please confirm:
1-Do you have high-quality tick-by-tick ES historical data available from 2020?

2-Can this data be used to reconstruct 2,000 ticks per bar charts?

3-Will Chart Replay work correctly with these 2,000-tick charts?

4-Is the data true tick-by-tick trade data, rather than time-based or aggregated data?

5-Is the historical data included with the normal data service, and which package would I need?
Is there any additional cost for accessing ES tick data from 2020?

The quality and completeness of the historical tick data are very important to me because I want to use the charts for serious historical trading practice.

Thank you.

No:
