Video: Downloading Historical Prices From FXCM

This tutorial starts from a brand new settings file and goes through to downloading historical prices from FXCM.

It assumes:

  1. You installed the FXCM bits when you installed ATM.
  2. You started ATM, created a new settings file, opened it, and ATM is sitting there ready to go.
  3. You used this information to go and open an FXCM demo account, and also you logged in to that account using the FXCM trading platform and got your account number.

This tutorial does these things:

  1. Enters the FXCM demo user and account details.
  2. Creates the Data Manager entry for EUR/USD, Daily, FXCM.
