Finding Minute Data for VeighNa Backtests

Summary

This brief community exchange addresses a practical data limitation in VeighNa: a user has a strategy loaded but can access only daily bars, while needing minute bars for a backtest. A respondent suggests two routes: applying for trial access from external market-data providers, or recording data with VeighNa’s data recorder module and then using those recorded bars. The discussion is a short pointer to possible data sources and a built-in collection workflow rather than a detailed setup guide.

It does not specify the coverage, cost after any trial period, supported instruments, historical depth, or data quality of the provider options. Nor does it explain recorder configuration or how to check that recorded data is complete and suitable for historical simulation. Readers should therefore treat the exchange as an initial troubleshooting lead; the actual availability and usability of minute history depends on provider terms and the user’s recording setup.

Key ideas

• VeighNa users may need a separate source of minute bars when their installation provides only daily data.
• The reply suggests trial access from external data providers as one possible route.
• VeighNa’s data recorder can collect bars for later use in backtesting.
• The exchange does not explain setup steps or assess historical coverage and data quality.
