We use both BarChartonDemand.com and QuantGo.com for intraday data. BarCharts has good data and has been doing futures for a long time but it gets expensive for larger amounts of data. Recently we have been using QuantGo.com more as we can rent unlimited access to 6+ years of full tick (both...

Do you want live or historical data for testing ?

The IB feed is not a real feed but uses snapshots from 1/10 second (every 100 ms). For an HFT strategy you should get every tick...try a direct feed from Activ or Nanex.

QuantGo.com now has an R library which allows you to download historical data directly from R for any exchange worldwide. The catch is that you have to use a virtual instance in the QuantGo cloud. This allows you to rent access to years of data for an affordable fixed monthly fee but you...
