Hey fellows and fellowettes!
I'm looking around and I can't find any backtesting platform that has good, reliable silver data going back further than the 2000s (when the first ETF was created). I'm looking for a backtest platform that has silver data integrated the way gold data is typically included all the way back to the 70s.
I'm currently testing PP variants with more volatile variations of the traditional assets. So silver instead of gold; zeros instead of long treasury bonds; small cap and emerging markets instead of U.S. total stock.
Anyone know any platforms that would have such data already included? I've checked PortfolioVisualizer and PortfolioCharts but no dice. ETFReplay only has ETFs, naturally.
Thanks!

Just to clarify, yes I know I can just look up a graph of historical silver prices, but I'm looking for a portfolio testing platform that has it integrated with other asset returns.

Good Morning Smith,
There are no calculators/backtesters I know of with Silver - believe me, I have looked !
I would suggest heading over to belangp's YouTube channel as he has done quite a bit of modelling with Silver

I too have looked around on and off over the years for some decent backtesting with silver and come up empty.
