Hello Fellow Traders:

I am a futures trader who trades at CME/CBOT (cmegroup) and monitors ICE. I currently use CQG as my datafeed. Unfortunately, given my cashflow situation, CQG is getting too expensive. I am a swing trader: I need real-time data and daily/weekly historical data (both price and volume). As I dont use any indicators in my trading, the charting package provided by the datafeed provider is not important for me.

I was wondering if any of you would recommend a good datafeed (with API support) that is stable and reliable -- I was leaning towards esignal but I read that their daily volume info lags by a day, and they have roll-over and volume issues with continuous contracts?

Or is there a list of datafeed providers "somewhere-out-there" that I can use to evaluate datafeed providers? I would be more than happy to evaluate the providers if there is an already available list.

I look forward to your response.

Thank you.

Regards,
Madspeculator.

P.S: Soultrader: I am not sure if this is the correct place for this thread. Would it make sense to create a datafeed fourm under "Trader Resources" section where fellow traders can comment on their experiences with their datafeed(s)? Personally, I would like to see reviews of datafeeds separated out from the software provided by the datafeed providers (e.g., CQG's datafeed from their charting package; or esignal's datafeed from their charting pacakge).
