Ian,
HyperServer work fine with MT, you need to configure the MT server
correctly, if you are using a wrong server how can be possible get it
working?

Subject: Re: Forex data for 2000i
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.
