[lundy]

I'm looking for free EOD fx data from a website.

Or website that features a chart that allows export of ascii data (aka livecharts)

I want to import into wealthlab.

thanks in advance.

I've looked everywhere for this and I can't find it. I therefore have to do it by hand, doesn't take me more than 5 mins to do for about 9 crosses.

I get the data from www.fxcm.com

good news:

free from yahoo

^XAU ^XBP ^XCD ^XEU ^XJY




bad news:

for some stupid reason this only has 2 decimal places in the history files. I have asked them to change this and they said they would... six months ago, but hey it is yahoo (McJobs for the 21st century??!) and it is free.


So it is OK if you want to generally see what/where the market is going/has been, but probably not accurate enough for swing/daytrading tests.

I asked Yahoo about the same thing (2 dp instead of 4dp) a few weeks ago. Again, they said they would do something, but no signs yet.

Hello,

Thank you for the quick reply. If I may ask:

1) Is this a difficult change to implement?
2) Could you implement it soon?
3) What other new features are planned for Yahoo Finance?

Thanks

Type your feedback here:

For historical currency prices, the data is shown to only 2 decimal places. FX markets trade in pips (0.0001), would it be possible to display the FX data to 4 decimal places?

Lundy, both of the realtime charting/trading programs MetaTrader and MetaQuotes available as demo accounts provide ASCII price data export, see:

http://www.alpari-idc.com/

also: http://www.dukascopy.com/free/datafeed/

MetaQuotes links directly with MetaStock, for free converters between MetaTrader and some charting programs see:
