FREE Forex Data Downloader from FXCM.com

[mateyboy]

Hi,

 

Thought I would share this useful and completely FREE tool here:

 

Install Ramp9 from http://www.nebadawn.com and its included for free (fxcm downloader tool).

 

Instructions and more info here.....

 

http://www.nebadawn.com/help-files-for-Ramp9/FXCM-FXDD1.html

 

Its a free little data downloader that works really well. It downloads its data from FXCM (just get yourself a DEMO account).

 

Tried to just upload the files on there own without the software but it wouldn't run. If you figure that out then you can upload here on this thread....

 

Successfully imported data into Elwave etc and works really well. Much nicer than using Metatrader and having to leave it open all the time.

 

However the only software I couldn't get it to import into was Dynamic Trader.

 

If anybody can figure that out please advise with pictures etc and whether the ascii format needs changing in the FXCM app settings , maybe needs config to prn format ??

The program was not successful yet with the transfer, but the program itself caught my attention. It would be great if someone could crack it.
