Free data: Gain (RateGain for history, Ninja Trader -C#-for realtime), All the MT4 demos - all have fx and some have gold - I'm not sure which ones, but I think maybe FXDD, ODL, FxPro, BroCo maybe others. This is mainly C++, but you can handle it if you can do sharp.

Ps. I am still no know the data feed which a Broker is using, Where are them loaded?

FXCM, MBTrading, and Interactive Brokers offer API's which will allow you to access price feeds, historical data, etc. Their API's are free.

The metatrader sources mentioned above are all about the same. The way you get data from them is to open a chart, capture the data tick by tick as it comes in with an indicator (write it to disk or or use pipes). You would have a difficult time trying to read the feed directly. There are tick capture indicators on this forum. Search for them. If you want just minute-by-minute data then just dump it with an indicator, or use the export function.

Just what are you planning to do? You can analyze data in the script languages provided with the platforms. The easiest way to get free tick by tick fx data is to hook up Ninja Trader to Gain and dump it out as it comes in, or shortly afterward because some is stored.

Any programmer here who would be willing to code some Forex Tools for a fees?

PM me if interested.
