FXDD (from January 2006): http://www.fxdd.com/mt1m_data.html

I'll repeat something I posted on the IBFX forum:

Quote:
One thing to be aware of is that the time stamps of brokers may differ. For example, IBFX is at GMT and FXDD is GMT+3. You can compensate for that when importing.

Also, which was something I got hit with, make sure that your current M1 data goes at least as far back as the end of the imported data (e.g., the FXDD data ended at June 1 when I imported), otherwise you will end up with a data gap that will not get filled.

Finally, there are a few outliers in the FXDD data (sorry, I didn't keep a list) that need to be edited out. I noticed them when I used the M1 data to create data for longer timeframes. I believe the currency pairs were CHFJPY, GBPJPY, and GBPUSD.
