Does anybody know where I can find data on the historical price of treasury bonds? I know tnx and tyx are charts for the yields, but I’m interested in price. I have etf data that mimics price, but the seriesis not long enough.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n A1. Most traders actually trade the bond derivatives \u2013 i.e. bond and note futures. We have data on CBOT US Treasury Bond going back to 1978, 5-yearNote futures back to 1988 and 10-year Note futures going back to 1982. It’s not expensive (US$67 for the entire set of futures data). <\/p>\n Futures trading is a whole lot different from tracking a single securitythough. Most back testers use a back-adjustment method to create continuous contracts suitable for back-testing \u2013 see http:\/\/www.premiumdata.net\/support\/futurescontinuous.php<\/a> for more details onhow this works.<\/p>\n Our data is fully compatible with AmiBroker and incorporates the information required for back-testing (margin value, tick values etc.).<\/p>\n Richard Dale.
