Re: best quality historic data
I try to feed FSB with Broker's data I trade on. However, if you want quality data, Oanda or dukas your best bet, and on Bars M1-H4 there is no much difference, but remember they have weekends data which adds about 20% to the file size
Eurusd 2003.08.08 - 2010.06.05 is 183MB on M1. the same size as Alpari from 1999-2010
Feel free to ask more questions.
Regards.

Or you can simply import this data into mt4 historic data section - then export it to FSB.
Dukas data doesn't like FSB - or vis-a-versa !
