How reliable is LIM data vs. Bloomberg data?

Discussion in 'Data Sets and Feeds' started by mizhael, Jul 1, 2010.

  1. Comparing historical data for commodity futures,

    LIM data vs. Bloomberg data,

    lots of differences...

    How do I figure out which one is better than the other one?

    How do their data quality compare in general?

    I know CSI is probably the cleanest? Unfortunately I don't have CSI ...

    Anyway, any thoughts on the data quality?

    For ease of downloading and programming, I tend to prefer Bloomberg data,

    how reliable is Bloomberg data for systematic trading purposes?

    Thanks
     
  2. hi, i come across to the same problems, have you figured out if futures data from bloomberg are reliable or not?
     
  3. I think Bloomberg data is more reliable. I suppose the brand name has something to do with this opinion of mine. The issue with Bloomberg is that it is so expensive.
