Reliable Historical Data?

I know this question must've been asked numerous times but majority of the old links that I tried don't work anymore.

I'm trying to backtest some FX data and initially I used the 1min and 5 min data from FXCM. Unfortunately, their historical data is incomplete i.e. they're missing a candle for certain minute.

Then I tried using MT4 Historical Data. While its much more vast, it is also missing candles at times times from 1min and 5 min data. Plus, you can't get the Bid-ASk historical data from them.

Can anyone please recommend a RELIABLE data source for 1 min and 5 min time charts. It would be nice if I can get both, bid and ask, historical data.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Svm,
try this history data server:

http://ftp.akmos.ru/pub/Dealing/

AFAIR, it gives 15 minutes rates, but you can convert it with period_converter.mq4 standard script.

I can attach the screen if you don't have it.

thanks

try fxopen. they have bid and ask charts.

I see that you know C++. You can download Dukascopy tick data from here and build your own M1 candles from it. They have data starting from 2007. It's quality is very good.

You can write a script to download the data automatically.
