Looking for Professional Historical Forex Data

  • #1
  • First Post: Apr 20, 2009 4:43am Apr 20, 2009 4:43am
I'm looking for professional quality forex data to start optimizing my system. It needs to meet these requirements:

- one minute resolution (tick resolution not required)
- one to two years of historical data
- GBP/USD and EUR/USD
- ASCII Text data type

I'm willing to pay good money for this data.

Does anyone know where I can find forex historical data that meets these requirements?

unless I'm missing something, they only allow up to 10,000 points back, and for one minute resolution data, that's just one week.

ya, this is a limitation, you have to download 10000 point to 10000 back for all data u need, using end date.

Try eSignal... you need to pay for a monthly service, but well worth it if you are looking at building your own system based on little noise.

I think u look in the wrong place. On that data there are bid and ask separate for every bar of TF you select, max 30 min TF, or tick data for every hour, how u can download 2 years of that data? you have to download approx 13824 file of tick data......
Lol.
Have fun....

The format of the data file is described here:

http://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/engli...ed/historical/

at the bottom of the page you will find data format description and sample programs in Java to read the data files. Of course you will need to be able to program a bit.

But if you can program, you could for example make a simple application to automatically download the data you need.

No need to apologize

Thanks for the help and suggestions but they weren't quite what I was looking for.

After some searching, I found this:

They offer intra-day data 10 years back, daily data 25 years back, for 35 forex pairs for about $140.
