thetrademachine.com history data source?
On my usual hunt for good (and free) data sources I downloaded 7 majors "Alpari UK" data from 2001-2009 from thetrademachine.com website (http://thetrademachine.com/blog/2009/09/29/set-up-metatrader-history-data-get-90-backtesting-quality/). Problem is these files seem to have 4 digit prices, but Alpari UK has been using 5 digits for years, which makes this source highly questionable.
Any opinions on the reliability of this source?
Any links to other sources will also be appreciated...
Hi Gordon
I am not sure of the exact date, but Alpari UK changed from 4 to 5 digits end of 2008 or beginning 2009.

Yeah, you are right. My bad. Got confused with another broker. So I guess this data is ok...
