Quote from Hurricane:
Someone on ET recommended a while back ForexCSV as a free source for historic exchange rates. I don't have a link to their web site any longer but have been running their Data Downloader to bring in what I need. However, it stopped working on January 1. Does anyone know how to get this data going again or know of another source? What I want is daily rates on the majors that I can put in Excel. Thanks.
