Re: need forex data

What time frames are you looking for? What format? I would suggest you first locate a reputable forex market maker who you plan to clear your trades with first. After you've located one, find out whether they will provide you with historical data in either CSV or a real-time data feed using either DDE or an in-house API. The reason I suggest locating a market maker first is that all market makers will have slightly different quotes, so why base your analysis on generic forex data probably obtained from GTIS that is a composition of dealers rates when you can get a historical version of the exact quotes you will be trading off.

Hope that helps,
Trendtrade
