Hello

I am trying to do some quantitative analysis on various pairs and need to get tick-by-tick data which I can use with excel.

Can some1 tell me where can I find highly reliable data? Need a few sources to verify data against.

Regards

Neo

Hi I found a source but I dont know if its reliable or not.

http://ratedata.gaincapital.com

If someone knows about the accuracy of this data, please post. Or any other source which has good reliability.

Ok. So this data provider all though free to download is just well confusing. Posting example:

674344297,EUR/USD,2008-12-28 17:00:03.000,1.405700,1.407100,D


674344333,EUR/USD,2008-12-28 17:00:52.000,1.405800,1.407100,D

If someone has a good source where tick-by-tick data can be downloaded please post.




Regards

Gain's data is highly manipulated. The best available data is through Dukascopy. I'm having their in tick and OHLC data compiled in a importable format for MT4 History Center. I'm updating regularly for our own in-house use. Feel free to PM me for other pairs as well.

I found Gain to be good compared to other sources, but be careful of : gaps, changes of format and periods where the date/time goes backwards. It has got better for recent years.

Another source is TrueFx.

Indeed, in the last two years the GAIN data quality dramatically improved. Now they regularly release last week ticks on Sunday, and from two weeks ago they even added milisecond level timestamps.

The data is certainly not manipulated. The quotes are very close to Dukascopy ticks, only less frequent. On the other hand you have many more instruments - 66 than on Dukascopy, which has tick data for only 35 instruments.

Hi all,
My first post here.
I have an account with Hotspot fxi and am looking for a reliable data provider for market data and charts. I will only be using the service for foreign exchange.
Im fairly new to trading so not after a Bloomberg or Reuters terminal.
I've been scanning these forums and quite a lot of posters have suggested esignal, cqg, iqfeed to name a few.
Does anybody have any suggestions?

I use tick data from cTrader/cAlgo from brokers like PepperStone and IC Markets. So far i have found data quality to be quite good.

if you have an account with Hotspot, then you probably can afford esignal,
probably the best there is. they have top data and also a state of the art trading platform
