Free delayed quotes are quite easy to come by. Try these for starters. http://www.futuresource.com http://www.cme.com
Probably the cheapest you're going to get to free "real time" quotes is open an account with a broker like IB and use one of the free charting packages like IBCharts or Medved QuoteTracker IB will charge you $10 bucks a month if you don't make any trades, but that's peanuts for quotes.
esignal basic includes eminis and is $49/month annual prepay. Historical as well as RT data plus charts, etc. About the best you can do IMHO. If you want the Advanced charts, then its $79/month prepay. Bob
