A word of caution. I don't know if it's true for futures contracts worldwide, but for Japanese futures Reuters includes rollover prices and volume with actual trades. This, of course, makes proper analysis, backtesting and trading impossible. And there's no reason for it as the rollover data is flagged in the data feed from the exchange so that it can easily be eliminated from the charts.
This has limited data coverage compared to the professional Eikon versions. All the OTC stuff is missing for example. And obviously no messaging and trading functionality.
you can actually get it for USD 99. It comes with real-time FX data and delayed data for virtually any other asset class. But beware, their composite fx feed is very poor, it jumps all over the map, changing by sometimes 3-4 pips from one second to the next when other better data streams hardly blink. It also limits certain news feeds (no FXBUZZ) that one would get with the full EIKON version. But other than that it cant be beat for the price.
of course, did you expect otherwise? ;-) But a big miss when they rolled out the retail version especially for fx guys is the horrible data feed. I am not expecting to get EBS data but a solid composite feed should not be too much to ask.
I am trying it out, the news is good if you like reading but I cannot get the charts to update. Do you have to pay the exchange fee to get the charts to move?
If you want real time data then you obviously need to subscribe to such. Except, I guess, for the fx package that comes with real time currency data.
