Free Historical Data
07/24/08 at 14:05:39
 
Does anyone know where it is possible to get free (or low cost) historical data (daily/intraday)?

I currently use yahoo to automatically grab daily stock data
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=MSFT

and Oanda for FX
http://www.oanda.com/convert/fxhistory

Any ideas where to get reliable and free financial data (Stocks, ETF, FX, etc.)?

Thanks!

Have you checked OpenTick? They give some data for free.

There should also be many suppliers of intraday data on stocks with 15 minutes delay.

What about basic swap and interest rates for different maturities? Any source...

There is one source I have across some time ago. But it is probably not for automatic download:

Yet another source of free historical data for stocks, forex and commodities including 10-second intra-day quotes:

http://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/english/data_feed/csv_data_export/

Quote:
To download historical stock data scroll down the tickers and select the ticker you want data for.
Select your timeframe (daily/intraday) and select the number of points (i.e how many days or hours etc to get data for).
Then click get data. If the data does not download straight away try clicking get data again.


Intra-day file format

Code:
DATE,TIME,VOLUME,OPEN,CLOSE,MIN,MAX
21/01/2009,15:40:01,578,114.64,114.48,114.44,114.74
21/01/2009,15:41:01,567,114.49,114.1,114.01,114.5
21/01/2009,15:42:01,431,114.09,113.35,113.33,114.12
21/01/2009,15:43:01,396,113.35,113.65,113.24,113.68
21/01/2009,15:44:01,346,113.65,113.81,113.59,113.99
