I just finished writing a 'Historical Data Downloader' feature for a project I'm working on, should run on Windows, OS X, and Linux, but as I just wrote it today, it hasn't been fully tested. I've attached a screenshot of it. If your interested in testing it I will build the windows version and make it available, it requires an FXCM practice account. {image}

No sorry, I have not used that platform. If it imports structured plain text files, their should not be a problem. I just added NinjaTrader text file format, maybe it can import that too.

{quote} After some initial tests, I've found that downloading tick data is very slow, so I won't recommend it over downloading a pre-packaged archive at this time. However, if your interested I've updated the links to the new version, available at Latinum Downloads. Current supported formats include: yyyy.MM.dd hh:mm:ss,bid,ask,volume; MetaTrader 4 yyyy.MM.dd hh:mm:ss,open,high,low,close,volume; NinjaTrader 7 yyyyMMdd hhmmss;price;volume yyyyMMdd hhmmss;open;high;low;close;volume...

The second one is MetaTrader 4 CSV. The first contains both sides of an offer, so it is not supported by many platforms without further processing.
