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.
