Alpari Data Bank?

  • #1
  • First Post: Jul 8, 2008 4:06pm Jul 8, 2008 4:06pm
Does anyone know if the Alpari MT4 Data Bank (History center) is closed for good. It's been down since Saturday.

If they are, does anyone know of a source for clean historical data?

Thanks

I phoned them a few hours ago about this. The only people available to answer the phone worked at the trading desk. They could not tell me what was wrong but they confirmed it did not work. They said there are no plans to discontinue the service. They suggested emailing support for an estimate of the repair window.

I have not been able to connect for more than 10 days before. Once this year.

Your Welcome

I tried to connect from the web page you posted the link for as well as the RU site. Both sites link to databank.alpari.org for the actual data.

It would be nice if Robert could post the actual download link he is using. Maybe it only works in certain parts of the world. I know my links were not working in the US and the UK a few hours ago. I just tried it and it is still timing out in the US.

They mean tick-data, history of price movement.

It is Saturday a week later and downloads are working again. I don't know when they fixed it but it just worked fine for me. It is a good time to download. For currencies the data inside the zip files are updated through July 11th.. And if you are playing on the RU side, the *.hst files for things like Diamonds and Spiders and #CAT are updated through July 10th..
