Hey guys,

just wanted to drop in with a HUGE update for my Forex historical data project over at https://www.forexhistorydata.com. If you grabbed the dataset a while back, you probably know it’s already pretty darn good, but this latest release is on another level.

Quick rundown:

• Filled way more gaps: Over 1.5 MILLION minutes across every pair, which breaks down to 26,446 hours, 1,102 days, or roughly 3 years of continuous data improvement. Some pairs got 100,000+ minutes of new data. Check at the end of this post for exact numbers.

• No crappy interpolation: Only real new M1 bars from several newly licensed high-quality sources have been used for gap-filling (thank you, early clients!)

• Corrected old timeshifts: I went full detective mode, manually verifying historical forex events to nail down the correct shifts.

• Even better quality: New ML models, Dynamic Time Warping… obsessed with making this even more pristine as I´ve been for the last decade already.

Oh, and a reminder: If you signed up for the newsletter a while back, you already have access to 3 years’ worth of free data (same quality as the full set) on all 28 pairs. This update applies to that too and you can re-download it or grab it fresh by signing up for the newsletter.

Geeking out (how could I not!): Been playing with some fancy stuff to squeeze out every last drop of accuracy. Machine learning for outlier detection, even using Dynamic Time Warping… trust me, this is getting crazily detailed. Oh and thanks for sharing some seriously impressive results from you guys using the data to improve your strategy development – I´ve also got new ones cooking live soon. Keep them coming…

The bottom line: Download this update if you haven’t already. No matter how long you’ve been trading, good data is non-negotiable and is the foundation of any (serious) strategy development if you want to go above and beyond Dukascopy. As usual, it’s in your client area as a free update. (Or get on the newsletter if you’re new and want to test-drive it too).

Oh, and as always – hit me up with ANY questions about the data, how to use it with EA Studio / Forex Strategy Builder, whatever. Love helping out.

Cheers, and green trading!

Hey everyone,

You know how passionate I am about accurate Forex data, and how it can make or break your trading. Well, things have been getting REALLY interesting over at ForexHistoryData.com lately... It's also been a while since I last posted here — my apologies for that! I've been heads-down in the data trenches, building out the company, and haven't come up for air in a while. (Thankfully, my amazing wife keeps our fridge stocked.)

Anyway, I recently implemented a HUGE update to my dataset – I added over 3 YEARS' worth (1,586,777) of missing 1-minute data points across all 28 pairs, adjusted some pesky timeshift errors (everything is EST+7 throughout now!), and used machine learning and dynamic time warping to boost the accuracy to a verifiable 99.3% (the report can be found on my site).

Let's just say some of the "big data" providers weren't exactly sending me congratulatory emails. In fact, a few of them seemed a little... panicked might be the right word. ;-)

Here's the thing: This level of data quality literally costs a fortune. You know those big data guys charging €94,625+ for their datasets? Yeah, they don't even bother giving you a quality report to back up their claims! I'm still committed to making it accessible to everyday traders — for as long as I can. That's why it's been priced at a massive discount since its launch.

However, with these massive quality improvements (and some "encouragement" from those "certain parties"), I'm going to have to raise the price to €1,599 in just 9 days.

For those who want the full scoop, I'm sending out a 9-day email series starting TODAY. I'll be pulling back the curtain on the Forex (data) industry, revealing some hard-won secrets from my 15-year trading journey, and sharing what REALLY makes this data different.

If you're interested in the full story (and maybe snagging the last chance to get this dataset at the launch discount), sign up for the email series using the opt-in form at the top of my site:

It'd be my pleasure.

See you,

Lorenz

P.S.: Full disclosure, I hired a professional copywriting agency to help me with the marketing this time around. So if the emails or my website sound a bit... enthusiastic... that’s on them! :-) I figured I'd leave the marketing to the pros and focus on what I love the most: data!

P.P.S.: My wife says this video is more exciting than watching paint dry... (She's being generous. LOL): https://youtu.be/Ofk1kJdlK2c
