Can someone suggest a cheapest source to buy/download EOD data on daily basis, just OHLC & Volume? Not interested in historic data or level-II Want to run some scanner [yet to be built] daily to find some stock/futures to initiate trade. Do not want to attempt downloading ONE stock/future at-a-time script, rather some FTP access to download all stocks/futures [US market] in one go.
Eoddata has nightly download data with prices ranging from $0 to $29.95 per month (cheaper if you pay for a whole year at once). You need the $24.95 plan to get EOD futures data. They just upgraded their servers so downloads are now fast. All US futures are one .csv format file. I pay the $29.95/month because my P/L program needs EOD option prices. Eodata also has Canadian and foreign EOD quotes. I think it has shorter period bars also in the most expensive plan, but I do not use it. Service is good because I do not notice it. I need to select and download 8 files for everything I need for each day.
