FX rates live stream

Hi,I'm building a trading system in Java. I can receive prices and send order using a FIX connection with my broker, via the QuickFix/J library. Now I need to integrate in my system an external data feed providing live FX rates, possibly with a free and open source API. For some reasons that unfortunately I can't explain my broker can't provide me this live FX rate feed.What would you suggest me to use? Thanks

You said that your broker doesn't provide FX feed, so you aren't using Interactive Brokers. You could try truefx or IQFeed.

@octoval Are them free? Thanks

IQFeed is $$$, truefx was free last time I used it, and I think it was some kind of REST API. There is an example somewhere on the web on how to access truefx from R.
