Thank you for the reply. After some research I decided to use tradestation 2000i purely for the purpose of backtesting few of my trading strategies, hence I do not wish to subscribe to any live data feed providers.

I am planning to purchase historical data from any reliable source and then import into tradestation. However most of the data vendors seems to have their data in text format. Is there any method to convert the data? and how to import that data into tradestation?

Can any one of you guide me through the right process that would enable me to achieve my goal?

Thanks
