Question to Forex MB trading users

[Duval]

Hi,
this is NOT a question for NT staff.

Hi guys,
what good forex only historical data provider are you using and recommend to provide historical minute data, to complement your MBT live feed ?

Please tell what you like and the price you pay.

Thanks,
Duval

I just load the free Gain historical data, disconnect & then reconnect to MBT

Another option for pairs that are not offered by GAIN is to get a free demo account at a MetaTrader provider (i use FXPro.com, which is a demo that never runs out) and from there you can download data from those charts. The only issue is converting this data into data that you can import into NinjaTrader - it's kind of a pain and I've actually been looking for an excel macro that could do the trick to convert it... Let me know what you think.

rangerdoc,

Do you have to have a Gain account to access the historical data? If not, can you explain how you are doing this without login credentials?

Thanks

You can get real time data and some portion of history from Gain directly through NT. Search the forum for how to set it up, but it is fairly straightforward. If you want even more data, you can get tick data from GAIN right here:

Good Luck.
