If you only need 1 symbol it sounds like IB would be a good solution. We (IQFeed) also provide forex data in 2 packages. Basic Forex includes the real time stream on major currency pairs from barclays and FXCM. Premium Forex includes Barclays, FXCM and about 20 more contributors with individual contributor, composite and forward pricing. The total price for the Basic forex package is $85/mo ($60 + $25), the total for the Premium Forex is $110/mo ($60 + $50).
