Obtaining OHLC data for previous weeks?

[brownie3]

Hi,

Is there a less tedious way of getting OHLC data for previous weeks than browsing through the charts, placing the cursur over every candle. I need the last three weeks data for my system to work for the following week.

Any help/advice appreciated.

for which instrument(s) ? Free stock data is available on Yahoo, futures are more of a problem, you'll have to do some work :

Hi rog1111,

I need data for the forex eur/usd etc but a trading colleague has suggested going into MT4 history in the tools tab. There seems to be all the data there for each day (ie OHLC).

Thanks for your info.

you could try this link :

....prices are bids from more than one source, so they are more volatile than you'd expect from one source. You'll get up to 10,000 lines of data in the format d,t,v,o,c,l,h.

where v is either volume or tick volume

I have used this data for a lot of backtesting, it seems to stack up fine against other providers. It's not perfect, and there is the occasional gap, but quite adequate I think you'll find.
