The current download item gets non-continuous daily futures quotes from the following download location: www.accesstrading.com. The quotes can be downloaded starting from the end of 2007. This is because a change in the URL that points to the CSV content was made in the late 2007. The data provided by (accesstrading) is available from the beginning of 1998.
If someone needs that I update the downloader so it can get data back to 1998, just send me a message.

There are no symbols filter in this download item; you only have to specify the date range in order to get the quotes data. The symbols are automatically added into your symbols database.
Because the open price is sometimes missing (value set to zero), I had to create a post-script that adjusts the daily open price to the daily close.
Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
