Historical data in ascii format

[aparoid89]

I am looking for past forex data in text format so I can process it using a programming language.

any success on this? I'd also like to find machine-readable historical forex data (or any futures or options for that matter).

I found yahoo finance which provides it in spreadsheet format. You can open it with notepad and it looks like a mess, but some nifty programming with python should do the trick.

I tried to copy and paste the charts into Wordpad and it worked. What you do is save it as a "text document" instead of "RTF" (rich text format) and it will remove the chart boundaries leaving you with only the text. You can then copy and paste and arrange that info how you want it. It isn't exactly what you asked for but it is something you can still work with.

If you talking about data from yahoo etc not tick data, better use Metatrader and export chart to excel spreadsheet, but it is just candlesticks in numbers and that data is not accurate

Anyone know about the service where ALL data from DoM can be exported to excel realtime ?
Is it technologically possible ? Am I right that trading technologies provide something like that ?
