Don't have it on hand, but it's pretty easy to acquire: sign up for free FXCM demo account and use 'Download.c' script to download it. For WTI, the ticker is 'USOil'. As far as I rememeber, they should have more than 10 years of 1M data.

The previous response was for CFDs, but did you mean futures?

FXCM's USOil CFD can be used as a proxy for futures.

Now, if you want futures, you can try the IB plugin and follow the symbol format for futures and expired futures:

Another option is to download CSV data from the exchanges and convert it with your own Zorro scripting. Or you can pay oP Group to do it for you.

I've also developed a solution for my paid clients: I have an ACSIL script in Sierra Chart which exports futures historical data to Zorro.

That's great NSG, I will try that... thank you.

Thank you also AndrewAMD for your input... the CFD data is fine for me, it pretty much reflects the futures.

Thanks!
