Tick Data required

Data from Metatrader is absolutely useless for backtesting because there are huge gaps all over the place. (EURUSD for instance, there's a gap of a whole 5 days between 10th and 16th December 2010)

Can someone please suggest a good source of data that I can import for backtesting.

Thanks

Of course its not tick data I really want anyway because I dont think MT4 can import tick data. My heading wasn't 'Tick Data Required' originally but one of the forum guys changed it.

Anyway, I found a good way to get some proper data into MT4 by following the instructions here: http://thetrademachine.com/blog/2009...sting-quality/

The data only goes up to the middle of 2009 and its a laborious process but the data is very good.
