I am still running TS 4, and only trade end-of-day.  I had been
using Prophet as my data source, and was pretty happy with
them - for $19.95/mo they provided an internet download
that looked enough like Dial Data to fool the Omega
downloader into accepting it quite seamlessley.

However, Prophet has increased their rates by 50% - to
$29.95/mo (or more if you need long-term historic
data, access to option markets, ...     I should not be
quoting their rate structure for them).  I felt that there is
so much free charting available over the internet that
for my level of trading it would be nuts to pay $360/year
for data.  However, every once in awhile, it would be
nice to run a TradeStation study on current S&P, Bond,
or other common data series.

Short of begging paste-in files from the folks on this
list, are there any other sources inexpensive, end-of-
day data available?
