Dukascopy provides tick data back to 2003 for free. But you need a tool to convert the data to candle data.

The total trading time is less than 30 minutes...

A Windows on Mac via bootcamp is no difference with a native Windows computer, except some keys are different (Command VS Win key). But you may also try VirtualBox, which allows you to run Windows inside Mac.

Hi guys, To inspire myself (and you), I would like to list the categories about algorithm strategies I can think of, and I then would like to hear in which category are your strategies, and why. And if you have any other categories to add, please share if you can. The categories I can think...
