Free real-time data on TY futures contract

  1. I am looking for free real time data on the TY futures contract (the US 10-Year).

    I have found real-time pricing on CMC's Next Gen platform, but I am finding it a little difficult to work with the data on their platform.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction?
     
  2. I ended up finding the information I was looking for on my old TradeStation account.

    Here I can see all the futures data and easily export it to Excel, including corresponding indicator values such as EMA's and Stochastics - this is what I was hoping to do.

    It's not free though. $20/month for what they call the "Globex bundle". Well worth it IMHO.

    Apologies if this was a dumb question - I guess I am quite a newbie when it comes to futures.
     
  3. You'll be hard pressed to find live futures data for free. The major exchanges raised data costs on firms over the last two years. I'm not going to name platforms, but there are a few futures trading platform demos out there that do supply live data. However, the export functions are usually disabled, and you will have to find a way to get new demos every time they eventually expire on you.
