Thread: Futures Data cheep or free

  1. #1
    I am looking for a provider of currency trading market Depth DOM, order flow, Bid, ask Volume
    I exchange Currency Market, through oanda and I want see market flow, Dom to help me make trade choices
    So I do not want to use a futures, broker account for trading.
    I am looking for the cheapest provider of currency futures Market depth.
    I know about ninja trader, but I'm over whelmed with all the different data providers and all of them have the 30 day demos I understand. If I must open account with a few minimum deposit just to use their information that is fine. Just looking for some alternative of the best way to get this information the most economical way.

    You wont find any free Futures data feeds but you can find many who provides delayed or End of Day packs, if this helps.

    If you are Searching for decent, free End of Day packages, consider:http://www.freestockcharts.com http://www.prorealtime.com http://www.marketwatch.com (WSJ) http://www.reuters.com
    Reuters and MarketWatch are web-based while FreeStockCharts and ProRealTime provides trading platforms complete with technicals.

    Recall, Futures is not like Forex in that everything is offered to the trader for free (i.e. trading platform, charting package, data feeds, etc). With Futures, you usually only get a trading platform for executing transactions, supplied from the broker, at no cost. Future trader usually invest in a 3rd party charting and date bundles for specialized analytics.

    And in addition to that, usually you'd even have to pay a subscription fee to register to the particular market (s) to get realtime data.

    Personally for meI am not certain how Currency Futures data helps me in my trading as the data is from a totally different market that is lot more coordinated, inflexible and illiquid than Forex. However, I guess for some trading sytles and egies, it is useful.

    I am not sure if it might help mepersonally, but I thought it would be interesting in seeing
    a real bid, ask volume ladder and compare that to some mt4 forex chart to
    help affirm your favourite mt4 indior
