Looking for LOTS of historical data (1985 and earlier)

Hi guys,

For a new project I'm looking for a maximum amount of historical Forex Data (especially the GBP/AUD and GBP/JPY crosses, but others might be added later)

I am not lazy, and have spent several hours on google to find this. There are indeed a bunch of historical data providers, but most don't go back any further than 2007 (some to 2000, but I need more )

I gathered from other topics on this forum that CME and SierraChart might have what I am looking for, but sadly this is not the case.

It would be nice if I could find daily data from 1980 onwards for free, but I am willing to pay too !

Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance

you will be lucky to find it that far back. ic markets my gbp/usd goes back to 1990 if thats any help

regards damien

gbp/aud goes to 96

I just spoke to IC Markets about opening an account and when I asked about historical data I was told that it comes from Metaquotes only. They don't provide it for the MT4 platform. As I need the ability to backtest using the actual brokers data I didn't bother asking any further questions.

Conversation was less than hour ago.

would be no difference in broker or metaqoutes data some ohlc?

Thanks for the help so far guys ! Truly appreciated. 1996 isn't too bad, but I'm aiming higher

Surely there nust be other traders around here that crave for a maximum amount of data to backtest on ??

This site http://www.tickdatamarket.com/forex.php?id=346 looked promising (it said it has daily data since 1975), but for GA I can only find from 1999 onwards

EDIT: Dukascopy (https://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/engl...rical/?popup=0)has daily GA data from january 1991. I'm getting closer !!

Why do you want to go so far back? Wouldn't the markets between 1996 and today be sufficient in order to test different market conditions?

Just interested...

Update: Actually based on your last comment I'm assuming that you're trading daily timeframe..
