Historical Forex Data from Gain

  1. Hey I just found this data and was wondering if anyone has used it to backtest? Its free and sometimes you "get waht you pay for".

    I'd hate to spend the hours to download if its rubbish. Anyone?

    You're better off using tick data from Dukascopy. It's much better quality than the Gain data.

    The difference in backtests using the Dukas data and the MetaQuotes data from any MT4 terminal is pretty enlightening.
