Backtest

Hello
I want to ask about the backtest feature

Can I do a backtest for old months, for example, from the beginning of 2024? If yes, will the data be accurate?

I don't need tick data. All I need for example is real volumes on the 5-minute footprint candles after each candle closes

I hope my question was clear

Thank you

You can run a backtest for as far back as you have the data, or can get the data.

Right now, you are on a trial, so you are limited to 186 days of data. So right now, you could not do this. Refer to the following:
Sierra Chart Trial Account: Details

But once you are on a paid package and if you are using our Denali Exchange Data Feed, then you will have access to the full amount of historical data we have available. Refer to the following:
