Consensus on data provider?

Right now I just have IB with 1 year of historical data, which is no use for backtesting swing strategies.

Is there a consensus on the best or most popular data provider for MC?

Cost is a concern too, since it adds up with MC fee + data + IB data etc etc...

Thanks

DTN IQfeed works great with MC and is reasonably priced- excellent data quality too.

Hello jalexander,

The amount of hitorical data supplied by each data vendor can be found at the following page:

You can get more historical data from IB by purchasing a booster pack from them.
