Where can I get historical futures data on the Nikkei 225? Tickdata.com only has the past couple of years.
If tickdata.com does not have a symbol or only has limited availability, it will not be easy finding from another source. You will find minute data on the N225, but tick is going to be difficult. Also, much easier to find cash index vs futures.
I have been looking for cheap index / futures data for global / international indexes. Unfortunately it's much easier to find ETF data. For Japan, EWJ or ITF.
Futures preferred. Index OK. ETF third choice. It looks like pitrading is one of the cheapest ways to go.
My site has daily NKY 225 index data from 1984: http://wikiposit.com/uid?STOCKINDEX.N225 It also has daily NKY 225 index future data from 1990: http://wikiposit.com/w?filter=Finance/Futures/Indices/Nikkei 225/ hope this is helpful.
