Reuters Eikon $150

A word of caution. I don't know if it's true for futures contracts worldwide, but for Japanese futures Reuters includes rollover prices and volume with actual trades. This, of course, makes proper analysis, backtesting and trading impossible. And there's no reason for it as the rollover data is flagged in the data feed from the exchange so that it can easily be eliminated from the charts.
you can actually get it for USD 99. It comes with real-time FX data and delayed data for virtually any other asset class. But beware, their composite fx feed is very poor, it jumps all over the map, changing by sometimes 3-4 pips from one second to the next when other better data streams hardly blink. It also limits certain news feeds (no FXBUZZ) that one would get with the full EIKON version. But other than that it cant be beat for the price.
of course, did you expect otherwise? ;-)
But a big miss when they rolled out the retail version especially for fx guys is the horrible data feed. I am not expecting to get EBS data but a solid composite feed should not be too much to ask.
