Smartquant has been around awhile and it's well regarded. I've played with their time-limited demo a few times and looks impressive, but has a steep learning curve...

Speaking of free data, I hope you aren't referring to the stuff Metaquotes provides! The more I investigate, the more I feel that Metaquotes are taking us for idiots. I posted an ultra-simple EA yesterday that highlights the number of price spikes between bars - all of these will trigger trades that would never occur in the real world... It doesn't take end-of-week into account but that's just another line of code...
