Hi Breadman,
It depends on the data service(s) you sign up for (i.e. your choice of feed), and if you take Updata’s Realtime London Service it’s going to be S&P Comstock’s XpressFeed, and you can find out more here: http://www.cmstk.com/gtis.shtml
A summary of the range of data services that Updata’s software is compatible with can be found here: http://www.updata.co.uk/shop/freetrialAll.asp

running updata ......need to borrow historical data!
mayfly thanks for your reply..........
i am ow running updata, it being going fine and to be honest the only gripe i have is the lack of historical data on some of the currency pairs.
on four or five of the main one's i have15 years of history, all the others their is only twos years of history.
Updata have assisted with this info
"Thank you for your email.
Unfortunately we only have 2 years worth of data on the currencies and some of the main ones have longer history, i.e. GBPUS. You can use a different data source into TA to try and obtain more data. TA is compatible with the following data feeds - Bloomberg, Mytrack and Tenfore"
can anyone assist with providing more historical data on all the other currency pairs???
your help will be much appreciated

Hi Breadman,
You haven’t told us what instruments you’re looking for?
Moving on, you’ve got two options:
1. “Third Party” CSV files
You can use the import historical data facility to import these in any timeframe into your database in the standard Updata comma-separated variable (.CSV) file format. This will allow you to import any historical data that you’re able to obtain from Updata or any other source. Look it up in “help” under “Import Historical Data”, which will give you a detailed description of how to do this.
2. “Third Party” Databases
Updata can read and import data from third party databases, such as Metastock, CSI and Indexia. There are others, but you’ll have to check what’s supported with Updata. Click on the Updata Tray Icon or Message Centre, Click on Third Party Database and follow the dialogues.
Whatever you download normally, for example under Automated Database Maintenance, will be merged with the history data that you’ve imported under 1 and/or 2 above. Obviously, you’ll have to ensure that the codes/symbols/tickers are aligned/are the same.
I’m sure that some kind person on these boards will be able to supply the data you’re looking for.

The Premium Data service from Norgate has historical end of day spot forex prices going back to 1991 for EUR50/USD67/£36.00.
http://www.premiumdata.net/products/forex/
The data is available in both Metastock and ASCII (CSV) format and can be purchased without an update subscription if you just want the historical data.
It sounds like you might be able to import it into Updata.
Cheers,
Richard.
