While I have no first hand knowledge that this is true the consensus seems to be that they are the Rolls Royce of the industry.
Stoopid question: the 100 symbols in the basic 50 buck Kinetick pkg: does that include futures? Just want to be sure before I plop down some bux to look at this stuff.
You can put 2500 bucks in an account with mirus, use ninja and get all the tick data you want from the ninjatrader marketreplay server
YOu can get tick data on index futures (ES at least) from Big Mike trading It used to be free. Now Big Mike charges a $50 one time premium membership fee
It would be a violation of my contracts On top - these files are use4less without the software and the software is not integrated with any package I know except TradeLink. API is C only (C# wrapper avilable) and it is not easy to process nearly half a gigabyte of data
You can find inexpensive tick-by-tick data with bid/ask values at the time of the transaction on Kibot.com web site. Free historical tick data going back to 2009 is available for some instruments: historical tick data for stocks.
^this not to mention the kibot data is pretty terrible, missing data, survivorship bias problems, incorrect split/dividend adjustments, the list goes on. are there people interested in splitting the cost for comprehensive tick data? NYSE TAQ charges $750/month for their historical tick, split 10 ways, it comes out to a more manageable $75/month. we would be breaking every agreement in the contract, but at least we would get cheap high quality tick data and judging from this thread, 10 people doesn't seem too difficult to find...
