Brave New Coin is the best source of crypto data for backtesting and developing your cryptocurrency trading system. In this post I will explain why, how to subscribe and how to import your crypto data into Amibroker for backtesting.

I use the Brave New Coin crypto data for system development, testing and optimization. For day to day trading I use data directly from the exchanges I trade with.

UPDATE: Unfortunately Brave New Coin is no longer operating and I am looking for a new source of long term historical data for Crypto. In the mean time I am using the old data I have from BNC plus updated data downloaded from various exchanges. Which data sources are you using? Comment below and let us know!
