Paid Forex Data Providers
If you’ve found that the free forex data providers just don’t seem to cut it then you may want to spend a few dollars and pay for some quality historical forex data.
I know I know you absolutely abhor the thought of spening money, but unfortunately you get what you pay for in the forex historical data business.
If you are only treating forex trading as a hobby then by all means go for the free forex data, however if you are trading with a sizeable bank then you had better spend a few dollars and grab some reliable data.
Below is a list of some of the forex data providers that we would personally recommend. After reviewing the forex providers we have looked at which vendor met our needs best and this ended up being DataHQ, although Olsen was a very close second (and could’ve come first if they didn’t charge so much!).
Other popular forex data providers we list for posterity here. As the forex market continues to grow no doubt the number of historical and live forex data providers will grow too. We have placed our opinion on some initial tests done on some of the forex data providers, whereas on others we have provided just a general comment. We place the following remaining forex data providers in no particular order:
