It wasn't a hassle as such, it just didn't work! The thing was working
fine, it expired, and the new login didn't work in that it didn't
download data. I tried the Admiral server (as mentioned elsewhere, I
think) and while that did download data it hogged resources and had no
Tick data to speak of. The system - Metatrader-Hyperserver-20o0i- is one
of those systems that's great when it works but a pig - and even
impossible - to fix if it goes wrong.
With EOD of forex you can pick your own EOD time! :-) Some people may
use their own midnight but I think you may get 'more realistic' results
by using the end of one of the major sessions, depending on which time
range you want to trade.

Ian,
can't help with suggestions except to wonder why reregistering is such a
hassle. Are you talking intra-day or end-of-day?
My curiosity is piqued by the forex angle though. I'm looking at futures
trading using CRB end-of-day data to trade currency futures and
initially I am not putting together any continuous contracts, I am just
using the forex data that CRB supply as the 'underlying' for every
contract.
Just using forex data though, if end-of-day, when do you do your
analysis? After close at midnight?

Hi All,
A few months ago I asked about a source of forex data to feed
into 2000i and someone suggested I try MetaTrader's free data via the
free HyperServer - and you don't get much cheaper than that!
It took a long while to get it running and it worked great but now
it's stopped. Apparently the MT demo expires and you need to
re-register. For whatever reason I can't do this on my trading machine
although I can on another PC but using the login details does work
with HS on the trading machine. It's all a bit of a faff.
So, I was wondering if anyone could recommend, preferably from
personal experience, a source of forex data that's reliable. Cheap is
good (although not the major consideration) but not eSignal as I find
their forex data too spiky.
