As a followup for anyone looking to do the same, I found a very nice guide for downloading free tick data at:

It's taking a while, but now I'm downloading 5 years of Dukascopy data for free.
Haha VirtualReal, yes, I am doing a bit of programming in the meantime and just enjoying a relaxing day. By my estimates it might take up to 5 days, if not more, to finish downloading :D.
LOL, well, I wasn't referring to the long time it takes to download those huge files, but to the model optimisations after you've converted the data and placed it in the right folders.
It took me weeks to create a stable model, based on a year data set, so be prepared ;)

I am just getting into backtesting now and writing my first script to try to make it work. I am wondering if it is possible to test price histories with sub-minute precision. In other words, could I find data somewhere that is second-by-second and be able to have a script that trades based on price changes that might occur over a period of, say, 15 seconds, rather than on data that changes every minute?
Thanks in advance,
Dean
