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.

Just realized this topic was posted in 2011, sorry. But why a topic in 2011 is on the first page...

It's lower than the rates in China. http://data.bank.hexun.com/ll/ckll.aspx Above is in Chinese language, the rates of China banks, but you can get the idea. The first rate column such as 0.30, 0.35, is the float rate. The next column is 3 months, then 6 months, then 1 year. Maybe I can save...

Dukascopy has free tick data, and you can merge the tick data to OHLC. Oanda has historical data via REST API. All above need you programming or find some proper tool. You can also download Dukascopy data here, https://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/english/marketwatch/historical/ That doesn't require...

To get feedback you should at least list the features supported by your software. I created a full featured back testing and trading system, but I'm not going to open source it... Also, why do you mind to post the link if it's open source?

Oanda UK. I use it and it's great. Edit: just noticed you mentioned Oanda. Why not try with them? I was fine with their account applicant process.

Yeah I just finished refactoring and rewriting the pattern match part in my own algorithm trading system. I did some beginning level tests and it doesn't work. I really doubt if any pattern match can work because they are just curve fitting.

China -7.63%. Good mean reversion!

China down 9% several minutes ago. Waiting to see if it's 8 or 9 when closing.

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...

As far as I understand, the historical data downloading feature in MetaTrader will download data from MetaTrader, not the broker. And the data quality is low.

My tool downloads the data in the form provided by the source, then converts the data to candle bars data if necessary. For example, tick data is downloaded from Dukascopy then convert to bar data in varies time frames such as D1, M5, etc. For Oanda, the bar data is downloaded directly from...

Hi all, This is a question and survey, not any promotion. There are Dukascopy and Oanda historical data download modules in my own backtesting and trading system. But I'm not sure when I can find some profitable strategies to make my system live. So I'm thinking to make some side...

What's "late"? Slippage? Isn't pending order supposed to be triggered later after you send it?

Seems "The Chimp Paradox" and "The Power of Habit" are quite good. I will order the paper version. Thanks for the recommendation. And more books do you recommend to help being disciplined and emotion control? EDIT: I just found "How Self-control Works" by Kelly McGoniga, "Thinking, Fast and...

Hi all, Today I compiled my second version discipline list. I would like to learn from your disciplines. And more important, I would like to know how you force yourself disciplined. I know this is an old topic, but I would like to know your fresh ideas, at least fresh to me. My discipline...

He, and most of other Chinese "traders", are gamblers, not traders. The last sentence in the article is, the guy was bragging "it's same as how I predicated" (or "I predicated the re-bounce") after the market re-bounce hugely, that's so amateur and so naive.

I didn't know why there is such a Psychology forum on ET. After reading Mark Douglas' Trading In the Zone and this thread, I know why. And I also know how important Psychology is. That's my recent breakthrough.
