I think I figured a reason for my own problem
I think the 60:00 hours is data eror. As from 2006 everything seems to be okay.
...Very good feeling when one works out their own problems.

Hi, I'm still trying to make sense of the GAIN data. (2 years on) ( I have been trading equities and have just come round to looking at trading forex again) In each week of data, the time seems to start from 00:00 but goes to 60:00 instead of 24:00hours. Could someone explain this please? Many thank...

I'll be okay. Sometimes we have to do our own dirty work.

Hi Michal, Thankyou for your beacon of light. I have just come up with what I think is a cunning although compared to your SQL is pretty dumb. To separate the date from the the time which if viewed in Excel gets put in the same column as there is no comma separating them I used wordpad and do a find...

Hi Michal, Thankyou very much for your reply. So how do you use the data from GAIN? Isn't it pretty useless without the traded price? I'm trying to get historical data on the forex to play around with and design some systems but don't want to pay thousands of dollars for data yet. I understand it's ...

Hi, I have downloaded all the data from GAIN capital data: http://ratedata.gaincapital.com/ however it seems there is only bid and ask price. There is no traded price. Am I misunderstanding the forex market? Also the time indicated would you know which time line ie Greenwich? USA Eastern? Please for...
