Live data for Forex

[tedpenner]

Is there any free live data source for Forex (specifically the USD/EUR)?

Hello tedpenner,

Unfortunately, live data requires a subscription with a supported data provider.
Some providers may offer a demo.

The link below is to the Historical and Real Time Data section of our help guide. Please see the Understanding the data provided by your connectivity provider for a list of our providers and what they support.

Thank you for the list. I have bookmarked it for future reference. I was just looking for an inexpensive provider for Forex Data and really don't want to research every one of them. Since I already have an account with Thinkorswim/TD Ameritrade, could I not just tie into that account for trading and data?

Wow! I may have to stick it out with thinkorswim then where my data is free for having an account.

Thanks but that is way to high for me. All I need is EUR/USD.
