Tick data only goes back about 3 months for each currency pair. 1 minute data, however, goes back until November 2001 on most currency pairs.

You would be able to get the information using the GetPriceHistory function from the Order2Go API. If you do a quick search in the Order2Go forum you will find a lot of information about the function.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

You could use C# or C++ with Order2Go COM API.

For Java, you would need to apply for the Java Trading API.
