FREE LIVE FOREX DATA for MetaStock, EnSign and TradeStation 2000i!! I have not used their software, but from reading the site it seems they have a real time forex data program available for use in MetaStock, EnSign and TradeStation 2000i.

They also provide LIVE NEWS headlines and stories too! The only prerequisite: you need to have an account with them. I cannot comment on the type of data they provide.

FREE forex data on top currencies, data available in any time format (eg. Tick, 1 minute, 5 minute etc) since about 2002 – again indicative data.

You can receive live dynamic data if you have the programming skills. Be aware that the history is indicative data.

Time stamps are in GMT.

Forexite Review

We chose Forexite over the rest purely because they provided bid-type data. Other free forex data providers from we have seen give historical indicative data, which we don’t believe to be helpful whatsoever.

Forexite provides history spanning since January 2001. The only problems we encountered were that the time stamps were in GMT+1 (which is fine if you live in that part of the world), but difficult if you are testing the effectiveness of economic announcements that are released in NY EST! And… we found many holes in the data.

Altogether we would not recommend this data to anyone, but if you’re starting out and want a “feel” of what forex data looks like, sounds like and tastes like then we would choose this data history over the rest below.

At all costs try to get your grubby hands on FOREX.com’s free forex data.
