Hello

Take the M1 data from here (10yrs history) then after you'll need to convert M1 data to all other TF (using a script, on FF there's a script that does convert in one shot M1 to all other TFs - instead of you, doing it manually one at the time with the std script .. )

PS: please beware these are GMT data, so adjust the time if needed when you load the data)

I think M1 data gets you to 90% backtest accuracy. You need tick data for 99%. Here Birt tells how to use tick data from Dukascopy: http://eareview.net/tick-data
