In general, when it comes to data on the markets, you get what you
pay for. The cleanest data for US equities eod, and International
futures markets, comes from CSI. However, they have a slow update
procedure that some folks have complained about in the past. The data
though is in general, beyond reproach and it is pretty cheap.
However, there is a great way to get free data that is probably about
on a par with CSI. All you need is to know how to program in visual
basic. The data are all there, free from yahoo and reuters.
Historical and current data, at least for stocks, and probably other
markets as well. You might want to check the user agreement though to
see if it is legal to download. You can be 100% sure that it is
illegal for anything but personal use.
Not that anybody asked, but if you are day trading, there is no
excuse for not paying for a professional system. That means paying
up, but in the end, you will be happy. There is a reason why the
banks pay more than $1,000 for Reuters, Bloomberg. They are reliable.
When starting out, you go with what works with your budget and hope
and pray.
By the way, sorry I have been away for a while. Wish I could spend
some more time here. Maybe in a couple of months. I have us in early
part of good sized up leg for US stocks (1300+ for S&P and new high
for Dow), but still expect a match or near match of October 1998 lows
for the major indexes before it is all over. Risk to my bullish
interim call is Argentina and LatAm in general.
Take care all.
