    hi guys I want to backtest some intraday FX trading ideas (USD pairs as well as some cross rates) and I was looking for historical data going back several years.

    I'm not looking to spend thousands of dollars but maybe up to a few hundred at most (free would be even better of course).

    Any suggestions?

    TIA

    Dukascopy provides tick data back to 2003 for free.
    But you need a tool to convert the data to candle data.

  5. Whether is important to use hirtorical data for long years back , often in my trades only use only few week history data to analyze trend ahead, because often work as intraday trader

    I agree that use of few weeks history data will work for you but i am new to forex so trying to get all the data. So that i can start as a good PRO.
