Hi List,
If somebody has a large "chunk" (>=3 years) of history from CME downloaded
than I would be willing to create some programs that would create TS
compatible files (ascii to start with).

If we than could use traders2traders.com as an archive we could provide a
service to everybody with TS2000i. Maybe traders2traders.com could than
download the cme data weekly and create a constantly updated date history
service.
Quite frankly a service that CME should offer for free !!

Quite some time ago Mark Brown tried to develop some data services but I
never heard if it actually developed into something.
Anyway just a suggestion.
Robert

ps. The one thing I am not sure about is if the CME xxx.zip files with tick
data require some sort of license (I don;t think so, copyright on (historic)
tick data ?).
