Historical session open/close data in a format other then charts

I've been trying to find some historical data, but unfortunately it's always in chart format or only quotes from a certain time (for instance, 23:00 GMT close time and 14:00 GMT Open). I'm looking for quotes that read something like EUR/USD New York O:1.3748 H:1.3887 L:1.3672 C:1.3672 and then for different sessions aswell. Or if it's all in certain times (like every hour) that's perfect aswell, I'd just like to have numbers instead of candlesticks.

You may have to sort it for sessions. Format is csv and has better layout. You can get up to 2000 datapoints from 1min-1month

Yea that's perfect, thanks.

Do you also happen to know which timezone the times are in? It doesn't seem to be either NY or GMT. Also, how is it possible for the Close of the previous hour to be different from the Open of the next hour?!

Not sure to both questions. I haven't looked at the data closely yet. I'll have a look and see what I can figure out.

First you look at the chart of said broker. This data appears to be Dukascopy. The zero bar is the close of the previous day. From that you can calculate what is GMT 0 or New York Close etc.

These are known as gaps. In forex only occur for the most part on the wknd. (Fri close vs Sun open)

It's GMT -1. Pretty easy to see once you look at the time the friday session closes and the monday session opens. GMT -1 just doesn't make sense, though. Unless there's a Cabo Verde session that I haven't heard of.

I wouldn't look at friday as that may not be accurate. Look at any other day.
