Hi folks,

I am looking for some tickdata mainly for Fdax and CL, since I trade that most frequently. But ES and NQ would also be fine.
I came across the website of Tickdatamarket.com.
They are a little cheaper compared to Tickdata. Does anybody know the quality of their Tickdata ?
Any other resources ?

Thanks !

I was more concerned about the quality of data versus price.
Tickdatamarket offers the Fdax for the full historial range for 990US and at the Eurex I have to pay appr. same amount for 1 year.
So theres a huge price difference, is it justified ?

Here's an article on "tick data" and "quality". Worth reading, even though it's from a vendor:

One reason I use tickdata.com .

I am not sure about FDAX, but for most futures and stocks, TradeStation includes 6 months of tick data at no additional charge if you subscribe to the data feed for the corresponding exchange.

That is something I can't really understand. If bad tick data is coming from the exchange because of whatever error, I don't want that to be filtered, as bad data will always come in the real case as well. And I can't possibly understand what other factor can cause bad tick data. It's a data stream coming from an exchange isn't it? Just raw data, and timestamped. How can you possibly get it wrong?
