Raw market feeds?

[cilmica23]

I was wondering whether there is a place online where you could acquire raw price feeds for many currency pairs?

That might seem like a strange question so allow me to clarify a little about myself.

I'm a Tiny computer junky. And though there can me minutes of fantastic excitement and anxeity whilst trading. I think most can agree there are large periods of slow markets and fantastic boredom. It is at times like these I begin to think. I begin to think how I want to have the ability to create my own custom charts. And creating things that are technical for me. I'm also not much of a Windows fan, I much prefer Linux as a computer operating system. I would love to discover somewhere to get raw feeds into...
1) create a set of custom charts that I like running on a more secure operating system.
2) be able to see realtime data so I understand how badly my broker company is screwing with all the prices. I know they do since I have a few different demo accounts and'm using a third online charting system and very rarely do all 3 match.
3) Then as time permits, begin creating a trading desk for Linux that, if effective, I'd release into the trading firm of my own choice.

There are a lot of other reasons too but for starters it hinges on whether there is a way to get raw data from the system rather than a broker firm.

I have also noticed large divergences in price quotes involving different brokers, but that does not necessarily mean they are manipulating the feed. Prices quoted are derived from those offered to the broker from many different banks and they don't all use the same set. Variances of 5 pips or are not un-common.

I am unsure to what level this variance affects the result of your trading, but I do think it is desirable to use the very same data feed to both charting and placing trades, particularly if you're trading in a brief time period.

True inter-market information is quite spiky compared to what you typically see from a charting support, so obviously most brokers do a little form of the raw information. This raises an interesting question as to if you could for example get stopped out with a spike which looks in the market but not in your own chart, or if the broker applies exactly the same smoothing to the information used for trading. I have not managed to acquire a cohesive answer from anybody on this.

I would want to hear from seasoned traders with this.

umm... right, since I already said above...
Each broker uses a different alliance of collections of prices from different interbanks.
Different sources = Distinct prices

I know that http://www.dukascopy.com/ used to offer datafor men and women who wanted to develop their own products. I have not checked their website in quite awhile. I really don't know whether they are still offering this. In addition, I don't know exactly the terms and conditions but you can check them out at.

Alright, guys, I will check those websites out. Hopefully I will get something usefull off one of these. The problem is getting a price stream. I didn't recognize that every interbank quoted their own thing. I thought it had been more of a network type of thing.

But, if fact, it doesn't really matter where I get my information from so long as it's consistent and that I can manipulate it out to my own tastes.

Until man, as always, a ton of help.

Yahoo has one also but I can not find the link right now.

Try this http://ratedata.gaincapital.com/
But, this really is a broker's feed and there is not any such thing as raw data.
Each broker has different prices/feed that's a collaboration of prices from different interbanks.
Every interbank's prices are different also.
