I'm trying to backtest a few currency pair and spot gold but my MetaTrader provides with limited number of bars (in most cases for a few weeks only). My focus is on M15 charts for the following pairs:

XAUUSD
EURCHF
GBPUSD
AUDUSD
EURUSD
JPYUSD
EURCAD

Do you know where or how I can obtain the data I'm looking for?

Thanks

Thanks very much.

I downloaded the files but I don't know how to install them for the tester. Is there a source to show me how? Could you help me with that?

1. Open History Center / press F2.
2. Import the data to associated currency pairs
3. It will update your chart accordingly,
4. Then simply run strategy tester as usual.

Hi, I am trying to get historical data for backtesting. For the major pairs. May I know where can I get them? As far back as possible cos most data dates back for a few years only. Willing to pay for them. Please advise. Thanks alot!
