Hi all, I'm looking for historical data for US commodity futures (1-min bars), can anyone recommend any good, affordable data service provider here? Cheers
We use both BarChartonDemand.com and QuantGo.com for intraday data. BarCharts has good data and has been doing futures for a long time but it gets expensive for larger amounts of data. Recently we have been using QuantGo.com more as we can rent unlimited access to 6+ years of full tick (both trades and quotes) for US Futures for $275 per month...but we have to run our computer in the cloud.
I've used idisk which seems to be decent data( http://disktrading.is99.com/disktrading/ ). I've compared it to various historical intraday tick charts or time charts posted many years ago and they seem to line up perfectly. I have used some of the free services and the intraday data was terrible. Literally missing days, I spent many months of wasted time not realizing how terrible the free intraday data was.
