One service is Oanda's FXTicks, but you need an account with them and some other things:

Hello Orizaig,

I used Forexite (free of charge).Because my using FX broker's DDE(Dynamic Data Exchange) Provider allows me to download the most recent only 500 intervals for each supported currency pair.
Although Forexite is a Russian site, especially even if I used this, it was no problem.
(I download "MetaStock"data, this file is ZIP file. My PC can use after thawing a zip file in Lhaca.)
When drawing a chart, acquisition data is outputted to Excel and data is changed to a candlestick chart with the Create graph tool.

You can download a more reliable version of historical from MetaTrader 4 terminal.

Good Luck,

It seems to me that MetaTrader4 is popular among FX traders, but I have not used MT4 yet.

Even if we do not understand Russian, it is OK only by clicking the number which is beside a date to download.
I was scalping in an economic barometer(news trading) before, so I was using Forexite.

Lets keep the discussion going guys. Im searching for accurate historical data for a few of the main currency pairs down to tick level data over atleast 10 years.

so far ive found disktrading.com,gain capital, tickdata.com

Has anyone already tried a few of the historical data providers and found any cheap ones which are about 95%+ accurate on the tick level?


Any advice will be much appreciated, thanks.

I'll second this request, though I'd be fine with M1 data. Why is it so hard to find some decent historical data...? I recall hearing that even esignal was very spotty.

Very good quality.

You can get some scripts to download it and convert it to MT format here: http://eareview.net/tick-data

I have written my own scripts.

I checked the Dukascopy link out, saw some weird stuff. I downloaded the M1 data for January 1st 2008 and almost every candle had the same value for the O, H, L, and C. Maybe the tick data is better.

Yes free, but only for personal use.

I believe if I could understand russian even the forexite-feeds have some "licence agreement" sticking on it.

Hi Guys,

I have ~2 years of good tick history from 8 brokers, let me know if somebody is interested in such data.
Think twice before going live, even if you own the best trading strategy...
