Specific % Data

Hi guys,

I am trying to find a data table of sorts of % change by individual currencies. I have a good data table through AccuCharts but I cant export it to excel. I cant find anything to do with % other than the williams indicator with MetaTrader.

Is there some source that can give me the % change on a daily basis of GBP/USD for example going back a year or two? I would really appreciate any help someone can provide.

Or if someone could specifically help me with AccuCharts and exporting the table.

Are you looking for the percentage of change the gbp/usd changes on a daily basis . For example one day it closes at 1.8000 the next day it closes at 1.8180 for a 1% change to the plus side.

Yes exactly. I can not manage to find that data in an exportable format. Gain Capital as well as DealBook can give price change, though they do not have % change. AccuCharts provides the % change, but I cant export the data into a spread sheet. Right now I am doing it by hand over the last two years, though obviously if someone could give me some advice I would surely appreciate it.

Are you able to export daily OHLC data to a spreadsheet? If so, write a column with the following formula d%= ((Close/Open) -1) * 100

or

substitute the Open with the close of the previous day as we do get gaps in the market.

Is that the kind of thing you are looking for?

I can put a spread sheet together for you on this.

I was trying to figure a formula for converting the price into %, I was having a difficult time. I will give this a try, thanks.

Good,

Are you familiar with AccuCharts, or do you think that you will be able to export the data somehow? I am currently working on attempting to convert the price into % from the exported data from DealBook. The numbers do seem to be a bit off though. I am not sure what is going on... DOH!

It is odd, I just have to backtest a system and need the % info by day.

If anyone knows a website or broker that provided day - to - day % change data, that would be very useful. It suprises me that I couldnt find something with MetaTrader. Perhaps I did not look close enough.
