Sources of historical futures data

Discussion in 'Data Sets and Feeds' started by globalarbtrader, Jun 9, 2022.

  1. For a book I'm putting together a list of resources. For the above, so far I've got:

    barchart.com
    data.nasdaq.com (was quandl)
    https://www.tickdata.com/
    www.eoddata.com

    Anything else you like? Ideally free or relatively cheap (not bloomberg then :-( ) Daily data is fine, doesn't need to be tick data.

    Hi Rob,

    Norgate Data has quite extensive futures daily data for most worldwide liquid futures markets for a quite reasonable fee, and accessible via Python, with various metadata available (point value, last trading date, first notice date (where applicable), currency, margin etc.)

    Coincidentally, I've actually been working on integrating pysystemtrade to work with our data. Will submit a PR when done.

    https://norgatedata.com/futurespackage.php
    https://norgatedata.com/data-content-tables.php#futures
    https://pypi.org/project/norgatedata/

    Kinetick or IQFEED are rock solid for futures.

    CSI is the gold standard for historical futures data

  10. Please be careful with eoddata.com. I used their future data before. Many errors or simply missing chunks of data, even in ES. I asked the customer support and the answer was they don't have enough personnel to monitor/correct the data anymore... I cancelled right away.

    Currently using CSIdata, and satisfied with it. The software Unfair Advantage looks like old fashioned windows program, but runs fine in Wine on linux, and the API (with docs last updated in 2006) still works great.

    Used Norgate before, pretty good experience as well. But I need some instruments that they are not covering, so switched to CSI.
