They are about the only reasonably priced source I've been able to find for historical forex data. Can anyone comment on the quality of their data?

Jason, what kind of prices do they quote you?

Forum Mgmnt,

Their price list is here http://www.tradexglobal.com/TXGPricing.html.

$80 Austrailian for 10 years of major spot rates.

According to the website, they use Reuters & S&P for their data sources.

Jason,

I currently subscribe to Intellichart Desktop edition. Aside from the excellent charting and decent backtesting for forex there is immediate Excel data download.

The cost is $ 100Us /month ( been good value for me, not pertinent to the topic to expand here )

Compare $ 80 for one pair vs. an hour or so of downloading everything you can ( 10 years available for monthly,weekly,daily and lots available for less than daily )

If anyone else uses the service I would be interested in sharing some alert back testing code.

Hope that helps
