Hi,

Can anyone recommend a good source for 2 years of GBP:USD 1min data for my backtest? I have free data sources to be unreliable at the 1min level.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi - thanks for your help.

The Alpari data looks interesting - can anyone comment on it's reliability and how well it correlates to, say, eSignal data?

Hi,

I have only just downloaded the Alpari data, so I can't comment personally on it's accuracy, but I will say that it seems to have a good reputation (which is why I downloaded it). Would love to hear from anyone else that has more experience with it.

I tried Alpari data and found that it was not 100% accurate. Would not recommend to use it.

How can you know the data is not 100% accurate? Each broker has differences in its data so there is no criteria to say that one is completely accurate and the other is not.

However, for backtesting purposes it will perfectly do the job.
