Data Vendor Definition
In the backtesting reports, the Data Vendor field identifies the source of the Historical Price Data used for the particular run.
Extra Insight:
Historical Price Data comes with the major backtesting engines such as TradeStation. Data can also be purchased separately from companies that focus on data, such as CSI Data. The stock exchanges themselves make their data available as well and this is the ultimate source of the information.
