I assumed that since FXCM cut's off the retrieval of minutes going back more than a few weeks & cuts off five minute data going back more than a few months that it wouldn't be available through the API either. I'll give it a try.

You can manually retrieve EUR/USD 1 min data going back to 10/28/2001 with the Market Scope software, but that's a LOT of scrolling. You must also do it slowly, otherwise the software will freeze. This is why I love FXCM and their Market Scope software, you can go back in time and backtest your systems
