Just released: Dukascopy static data provider! Wealth-Lab users can download several years of 10/60-minute data for Forex currency pairs and a short sample of world indices and stocks.

The provider is available for installation from our web site (Extensions section):

Dukascopy provider - installation link

Download quotas are very tight, be very careful not to exceed Dukascopy's limits. Don't be greedy and it will work :)

I cannot download data (EOD or 10min) for any instruments using DukasCopy provider. It never downloaded. I only tried today with the latest version update of WLD6

For DukasCopy: Downloader never downloads data, EOD or intraday, for any instrument.

For Forexite: Downloader downloads data successfully. But when opening a chart, it is not loaded. It says 'No Data Available'

The provider works perfectly for me. There was at least one time when the data source returned an empty document but that was a temporary glitch. Right now, I double checked and everything's fine.

Make sure you've read and understood the provider's limitations, as imposed by the free data vendor, in the Wiki:

Limitations

Considering this, I recommend to start with Daily data. What are the "any" instruments, precisely?

I appreciate your understanding that we shall maintain order on the forums. Please re-post in the appropriate forum thread:

Dukascopy EoD history for Forex is very good. But I miss some important forex pairs like AUD/CAD, AUD/CHF, AUD/NZD, EUR/AUD and many more. Any idea how I can import this additional forex pair into the data stream from Dukascopy? Where can I get more information which forex pairs are possible to stream EoD into WL with Dukascopy?

The provider makes possible to download every FX pair available from the data vendor. No restrictions in this sense. So if after clicking Refresh Classification it doesn't appear in the tree (e.g. a new symbol), it is not available in Dukascopy's free historical data feed.

Hello Eugene, I match the data from the link http://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/english/marketwatch/historical/ with the forex data in WL data manager but these data are not the same. These data are different between what comes in WL and what is offering about dukascopy page. So it is not true that the provider makes possible to download every FX pair available from the data vendor.

Already after the provider had been released, it looks like Dukascopy have redesigned their data export page. Nonetheless, the old classification (click) is still functional and is being used by the provider for downloading the data. Whatever is available on that page, can be downloaded -- so what I said above is true. This explains both your confusion (sorry) and some differences that you may have noticed.

The provider will work as long as the legacy classification page keeps working. The new data export page - slow as hell and protected from parsing - will not be supported, shall Dukascopy supersede the old one.

Hello!

I have the same problem with Dukascopy Datasets. "No Data Available" for 10m, hourly and daily data ...
And it's strange, but I can't find Market Manager in Wealth-Lab Cient Software Components.

Regards,
Evgeny.

The data provider is dead. The extension has been unpublished.

Lately, Dukascopy has finally taken down the old data download API. Unfortunately, the provider has become completely defunct. Since absolutely everything has changed (download URLs, classification format, proprietary data file format, file packer etc.), fixing the provider would require a considerable effort on all fronts comparable to a rewrite from scratch. What's worse, it seems that some interaction is required in order to grab the files (preprocessing), slowing things down. Finally, minification was applied to the JS code.

This is where its story ends for now, so it's advised that you shop for an alternative in our Extension Finder.

The Dukascopy provider has been re-released.

We were able to overcome those traps for a developer in our own way. ;) Version 2013.05 now delivers less data and markets but the best thing is that it works.

DataSets must be re-created; old Dukascopy DataSets will no longer work.

It's been three years without an update and so the datafeed is stable?.. nope, that's hardly ever possible with these free feeds! :)

What's new in version 2020.03:

* Fix: breaking change to Classification Groups (Dukascopy introduced a new symbol format with currency code which broke receiving/updating the Classification)
* Change: targets .NET Framework 4.6.2+; browser user-agent version bumped up

A backend change at Dukascopy side has rendered the provider broken. We've unpublished the extension.
