Historical Data

I just tried it as well for Nasdaq futures and the only data available was hourly and only back till may of this year...

edit: I was able to get 1 minute data which did not include volume but I still can't seem to get data past this may.
 
The site worked very well on indices for me. So I downloades a few indices like nasdaq100, CAC40, FTSE, etc.

For some only 1 minute data work, for others also the tick data.

I assumes that it also worked for the mentioned futures, but when this doesn't work for you probably you do nothing wrong but it's the site...

For Nasdaq100 the site works best; tick data available starting from 2002...
 
I just had a problem with a download of a file. I was getting a small file. I had to clear the browser cache and then downloads went perfectly...

Edit: CQG has Bid /Ask data for a whole $12/month..
 
Quote from Traveler:

I'm surprised there aren't any data libraries available via torrent by now.

Yeah, you think this stuff would be on BitTorrent. I kinda see why though. If you want raw tick (trades + bid/ask) that's a lot of data. Just 1 week's worth of ES, NQ, YM, FDAX, E6, CL, FESX, and TF in raw text format takes up 1.75 GB uncompressed on my hard drive. Seriously, if I wanted to log the entire futures and equities market, I'd be filling up hard drives often. There's another trading forum offered by a Big guy named Mike (PM me if you need a better hint) who offers free tick data if you subscribe to the lifetime membership for a whopping $20 one-time.
 
This thread is valuable to me, so I want to chime in.

There are tons of L1 ( tick, top-of-the-book etc. ) and L2 ( limit-order-book, market-depth etc. ) data around. Practically all big trading software vendors are giving you L1 and L2 data for free, with various limitations. For sure NinjaTrader and MultiCharts, and probably TradeStation, are giving free L1 & L2 data, although I have no idea what quality is like.

Simply put, it is in trading software commercial interest to help you get going because then it is more likely you'll buy their software. As well many brokers are giving L1 and 1m data, like DukasCopy. DukasCopy's L1 data Bid/Ask volume is corrupted, but prices look OK.

Giving current/delayed L1/2 data (for free or otherwise) is a model.

But, giving historical point-in-time versions of such is a big ask.

There's not many that do this, but I think @Databento is probably one of the most accessible ones for US futures.
