I can trace only transactions that where executed in the last 2 - 3 hours with my geth, I get the following errors on transactions executed for 5 hours and more:

> debug.traceTransaction('0x5c504ed432cb51138bcf09aa5e8a410dd4a1e204ef84bfed1be16dfba1b22060');
    Error: missing trie node

Geth node is fullу synced:

> eth.syncing
false

I run it with the following command:

geth --port XXX --datadir XXX --rpcport XXX --rpc --rpcapi admin,debug,miner,shh,txpool,personal,eth,net,web3 console

I have tried both geth versions 1.7.0 and 1.7.2. Deleting the blockchain database and resyncing does not help.

How to cope with the problem?

Geth uses fast sync by default. Use --syncmode=full for full sync. The full database size is over 200Gb for now.

The answer was found here: https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/issues/15088

The reason is described here: https://blog.ethereum.org/2015/06/26/state-tree-pruning/
