Unlike many sources offering historical forex data for free or indicative reference rates, 360T’s spot data is validated and standardized, reflecting firm, executable pricing from institutional workflows. This distinction is critical for advanced use cases such as strategy back‑testing, liquidity analysis, and validating execution quality, where indicative or delayed datasets can materially distort results.
What’s more, all 360T’s historical data feeds are backed by Deutsche Börse Group’s reputation for data excellence and market integrity.
Is a free forex historical data download available for testing or evaluation?
360T does not offer unrestricted free forex historical data downloads. However, sample datasets or time‑boxed access can be provided so that clients get a chance to validate data coverage, structure, and suitability before subscribing or requesting a package for the full historical data feed.
Does 360T offer access via a historical forex data API?
Yes, programmatic access via a historical forex data API is supported. More specifically, 360T’s Historical Data Feeds can be integrated seamlessly via REST API for automated workflows. This makes the HDF well suited for quantitative and data‑intensive environments.

Absolutely. Many clients consider high‑quality forex historical data to be essential for building credible TCA and best‑execution frameworks. By using historical forex data derived from executable venues, firms can benchmark fills against contemporaneous market conditions and assess execution quality across different market states.
What type of clients or institutions typically require historical forex data feeds?
The datasets are suited for institutions that require accurate, transparent, consistent and precise pricing forex data, be it Spot, Swap or Precious Metals Swaps.
Typically, clients include:
- Buy-Side and Sell-Side trading, research and quant teams
