    The intraday data provided by sites such as Stockcharts, Trading view, Yahoo and Google finance all seem to be encoded within the graph rather than offered in raw csv or txt data. So anyone know any sites that allow you to download the intraday data in csv or txt format for stocks, indices and FX?

    Qcollector will let you take intraday data out of eSignal classic or iqfeed in CSV format.
     
  4. your right it's EOD data... if you want intra day your going to have to pay for it.. there are seveal avenues to accomplish this.. the most straightforward is to outright purchase the data from tickdata cqg reuters or any number of others.. or as mentioned you can start doing iqfeed or esignal .. they give you a certain history of data along with their subscription feed service... if you want min data back 180 days and then collect from there iqfeed or esignal is a good choice

  6. 1. You may contact any data feed provider, they usually sell historical data in their raw format. Then you will have to find or to write a program to extract these data and build the intraday data - quite complicated and costly way but official and legal.

    2. You may try contacting some online chart providers by asking whether they will be able to sell you intraday data. Find small companies not Yahoo, Google... Some of them could be willing to sell it. It could take a time to find a small company which does not redistribute somebodies solution but has its own.

    3. Try to find someone who has access to a data feed and already has the intraday history. Maybe somebody would be willing to help you.

    Quandl.com offers csv downloads for US and international stocks.

    If you only need SP500 stocks and major indices/FX/commodities then you could try FirstRate Data which is free and offers csv downloads.
