I am able to download daily EOD data through their FxHistory page. I am looking for something I can access progammatically. I will email them, maybe they have an API for geeks. Thanks!

Cool, I think the Profit Calculator is what I am looking for. Thanks!

Ok, thanks. I guess I need to find a way to determine how equitable different moves in different pairs are. If my system makes 2 predictions, say the EUR/USD is supposed to go up 1%, and the AUD/JPY is also supposed to go up 1% - it would be nice to know which would make more money if they...

I think of correlation as more related to a beta between -1 and 1.

So, a +1% move in one pair is not equitable to a +1% move in another pair? I understand that the $ value of a single pip is not equitable.

I have historical data on the various pairs, and a way to get to get daily updates - so now I "just" need to find something that works. I will be scouring through the historical data looking for clues. If it turns out I dont need to track everything, I wont. If it turns out I do, I will...

Where do you think Google gets it's answers?

Based on your first post, you would have gone long at 1.800 and got stopped out at 1.775. Then you would have gone short at 1.700 with a stop at 1.7725 and a profit target of 50 pips. Your target was met the next day. If you had stuck to your plan, you would have made money, right?

Is a 0.1% move in the EUR/USD as profitable as a 0.1% move in (say) EUR/JPY? I'm tracking 15 pairs with an automated system, and am trying to figure out which moves in the different pairs are the most profitable. This is using qoutes from Metatrader4. Allegedly this will allow me to ride...

It looks like your stops were too tight. It trended for 600-700 pips after you got gunned.

Yes I am fairly new to FX, and will be using the Demo account to trade with first. I am documenting the mechanics of what is available to me, which I can then use as constraints for any system I develop. For example, I could try to make a system that would predict limit orders to place for...

Cool, thank you. I will try this out in the Demo account.

If my broker was OANDA, and I had $5,000.00 in my account, could I put in several Limit Orders of $5,000 each? For example, if I was pretty sure 2-3 currency pairs were going to move my way, could I put a $5,000 bet on each, then whichever was first to move - would get all my $5,000? The...

Anybody know of any good Forex data sources?

Is the best source for free data still MetaTrader? I would like to be able to download hourly data on the pairs tracked by my broker, each night at 9PM EST, for use with an automated trading system. Last year the best way to do this was to use MetaTrader's 30-day trial, and renew it every...
