easiest way to get realtime fx feed data?

What free real time forex feed solutions have people come with here? I want a fairly minimal feed for say less than 10 currency pairs for a trading app i've developed & am developing. Ideally windows c/c++ source so i can make it communicate it my app. But something that just dumps minute data to a file would be great.
At the moment i use a screen scraper i've written to scrape data off my brokers java based client software. The screen scraper solution is really simple, but requires the brokeridge client software (or a window of it) to be visible & topmost at all times (my screen scraper enforces this.) This is no use if the mother-in-law wants to use email tho hehe!
Ideally i'm looking for ideas from people who have done similar things. I reckon the neatest approach would be write or adapt a browser scraper to get the data direct from dukascopy free feed, then no need for screen scraping.
The aim of the game here is hacky, free and low CPU!

I used to have a custom time period indicator that I downloaded from the mql website that had the ability to export out a csv at specified intervals. I then had a web service built to read that file and stream xml to my app.

I dont' have any of that anymore, but I"m sure you could find the indicator at the mt4 website.

imacros is a browser-based screen scraper of sorts if you wanna try and grab rates that way.

why not use MT4 DDE?

The problem with DDE is trying to capture historical data.

Does it require the screen to actually be open?

Hi,
I coded up a DDE client for MT4 & that works perfectly, now i'd like it to be able to trigger trades in MT4 aswell. What would be the best way to do this? I'm presuming I'd have to write a dll & use metatraders scripting langauge?
Ive no experience using MT4 other than to use its dde interface, so ideally a suitable metatrader script & a visual studio c++ project/solution with a neat interface would be perfect! http://www.forex-tsd.com/images/smilies/teeth_smile.gif Failing that some good pointers about what to write inside MT4 etc...

TIA

iMacros requires firefox to be open, but otherwise, no. It's capable of opening web pages on its own and manipulating them as necessary,.
