Hello team,

I´m in doubt of starting using your platform to develop trading systems; one of the reasons is that I´m doing FDAX and based on a response you answered to me in the past, "only" 2018 is available for Intraday Data.
Do you think previous years would be available for your data feed?

Another question I have is that one of the strategies I would like to develop is based on Price Retracement. I saw in another support request that to get the values of the levels you should use scGetUserDrawnChartDrawing function and then use the RetracementLevels array to access the values. Are all the variables (like the array) related to the tools documented anywhere? (what about this case for retracement tool)? - I can´t find it.

Thanks!

Data for EUREX goes back to the year 2010:

We would not have said that it goes back to 2018.

The documentation for drawing tools from ACSIL is here:
Using Drawing Tools From an Advanced Custom Study

All of the needed reference information is on that page.

I totally misinterpret your answer in the other thread, thanks for clarifying! I see you have tick by tick data for EUREX since 2013, which is great.

One last simple question, related to automatic looping. The documentation says "After that, the study function is called as the latest bar is updated and new bars are added."

Could you please confirm if that means that the function will be called after a tick change? Thanks!

Yes the function will be called when there is a trade but on a delay. This is explained in more detail here:
