Threre are over 2.2 billion ticks, 53 million 1 minute bars and 1/4 million days of data in the database. The size of the full database is 2.4Gb.
Below is an image of the instruments in the database showing the calendar days and the data contained in each Portfolio Slice. Slce 5 is the most current and slice 1 is the most historic.

Below are 3 pie charts, showing the number of BARS, DAYS, and TICKS in the database, respectively. We can see clearly the growth in the number of bars and days when comparing slices, due to the increase over time of more active trading and the introduction of new markets. However, what is awesome to see is the sheer vastness of slice 5 ticks at 87.3%, (Pie Chart 3) of the overall ticks in the database. The market activity of recent years is exlosive. Theres a lot of opportunity inside the daily bars to be had both from a risk control perspective, and better entry triggers. The wise are testing and ultimately trading in here...
