Hi mn,

DiskTrading Historical Data Download Server: FOREX, Indices, Futures - Intraday and Daily Market Data - Customer Download Accounts

$20 for what you require, including also I think per tick, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, and 1d data.

I bought some the other month, very helpful people.

Found this might want to have a look, you can buy packages relatively cheap and or single symbols for about $20. People seem to be happy with it, just type disktrading into the search function for more feedback. This is about the best I can find, I think free data is not a viable option considering the time it takes to find. I am just going to pay for what I need and save myself the hassle.

Mn, I found something which maybe of use. It is not 100% free but if you are just backtesting and want some data there is a solution.

Download US, Canadian EOD Futures Data, Continuous Contracts - CBOT, CME, COMEX, NYBOT

Download and request trial (14 days) (login: demo; pwd: demo)

This will give you access to 5 exchanges with all the futures you can imagine. I just did a bactch download and will use the data for a little testing. The price is reasonable I think £7 per month. Have a read.

This is a sample in metastock of Gold Continuous (2 years) and a full coverage of rolling contracts.

Give me a shout if you have probs, if the datafeed is acceptable we can maybe chip in and share a login :cheesy:

Oh yah, definately i'll go try that out. too my suprise, it's a monthly charge instead of just one time purchase. are you using it's MLdownloader?

london88 · Mar 8, 2009

Yes I think it is basic EOD data for a reasonable price!

No I have the trial for MLdownloader. I just completed a thesis and used yloader.com very similar programme and it is a little more manual in that you have to write your symbols list. I covered the whole of the SSE and the list took me 30 mins to create. On top of that as I only cover a few stocks it is the best option for me.

Can anyone recommend a download site for gold historical price data please? (need last 5 years or so for analysis).

All the recs I've Googled or found on T2W either are for charts only or incomplete data. Also, the useful zip files on this thread are now out of date.

Try these sources:

1-minute: ForexTester
1 hour: FX Historical Data dot com

Stooq

Commodities are listed in the World zip file; daily, hourly & 5 min in Metastock & ascii format.

kszt · Jun 12, 2013

Above link does not work any more because stooq.com uses cookies in a very strict way.
On the other hand here's a description on how to download gold historical data from Stooq.
Stooq holds historical data of gold and silver back until 1792.
(But do not await regular EOD data for the 18th century, complete months can be missing!)
Another source for intraday gold data is MT4 data export.
