Obtaining extensive Intra-day FOREX data

Hi there,

This is my first post so excuse any faux pas.

I am searching for tick level or minute level data for as many years back as possible for the major FX pairs.

I'm sure this data MUST be publicly available somewhere... and I know it's probably pretty huge but shouldn't be too bad compressed.

I seek to use this data for backtesting [of course].

Best Regards,

E.P. Frederick

 

good luck

 

Really that much of a hard thing to come buy?

Even to purchase?

I'm not sure if this is enough resolution and have not checked the quality of their data but,

www.hisbase.com

has 5 minute intraday data for what appears to be a reasonable price of $200 US for eleven pairs with 5 minute data since 2000 and 15 minute since 1997/98.

Thank you very much for the leads everyone!

The russian site harrytrader posted seems to pipe out all the 1 min or tick level forex data you'd ever want!

Do you use this data source yourself Harry? Have you found any major discrepancies or bad data?

I think I'm just going to take it on faith because at first glance it looks pretty good!

Best Regards,
