I apologize in advance for threadcrashing...but I came across this thread as i was looking for historical intraday currency data and the above recommendations fit the bill perfectly...thanks! I'm looking to backtest a few strategies where specific bartimes have relevance. Therefore, i'm...

Thanks Farjeon, It appears there are a lot of gaps and inaccuries in opentick's data..ugh. Anyone have any other thoughts? Maybe set up an account with eSignal or someone and download the historical data? Just not sure how much historical data might be on their servers, how accurate or...

Ensign can do it. Can run studies on the spread as well, just as if it were any other symbol. AFAIK, though, it won't go back and create a history of the spread - might be able to do that in ESPL, but i've never tried. Good luck mav

Hey Dave, You might take a look at www.esplprogramming.freeservers.com Not sure if he's done anything like that or not. Some pretty cool stuff there - the only downside being its not freeware. Good luck

Liv, If you have not already tried this, you may want to go into Ensign's 'Setup', 'Manager', and then set the tick server to disabled. It sounds as if you might be getting a data refresh from eSignal which can have the effect of changing the Tick bars and consequently the 3LB study. Tick...

Agreed. Signal to noise ratio has definitely deteriorated on this site, IMO. Although i am not certain whether this is technically feasible, providing the thread-starter the capability to moderate posts to his/her thread might also be a solution worthy of consideration.
