Getting 1-min real-time FOREX data

I am looking for an online Data Feeder that provides FOREX data (1-min or even 5-min data would be sufficient), so my program could automatically read this data from Internet.

Do you know an inexpensive data provider that offers such a service in real time? E-Signal does it, but it's too expensive.

Thanks!

There are so many types of different data, what program are you using?

What software do you need to feed.

Try metatrader from http://metaquotes.net. It has free 1 minute and 5 minute feeds and you can use the scripting language to export historical data or 1 minute bars. It also has a dde server so you can get live tick data as well

Thanks for your response!
I will write my own code in C++ (or any special script that is needed) to read data from Internet in the provided format.

You could look at VT API one of the reasons I mentioned this,is because they have a lot of support. If you have any questions they are quick to respond .

The VTtrader API is an application programming interface that allows you to write custom applications using any language that supports COM technology (C++, VB6, C#, VB.NET, Delphi, VBA (Excel, Word), Java (3rd party components needed), Perl and more...)

It's also completely free and you can read what other members have been doing with it at this site. And since it is an API you could probably even get your software to send orders automatically.

Getting the data is definitely something you should be able to accomplish

It can be downloaded from here

If you go down the Metatrader route, download the analysis software from my site (it's 100% free) and it contains an EA which exports history of data plus updates when new bars are completed.

A number of my users use this with Excel's import data functionality which polls the source (in this case file) and appends the data stored in the spreadsheet with the new data...

Don't need to use the app if you don't want, the EA has served me and others well in this regard.

All the best.
