Any free realtime chart for YM ? IB doesn't work across firewalls.

Thank you.

I doubt it sudha78. Real time data that I know of costs exchange fees.

If you have an account with tradestation their CBOT quotes are free. However, if you open an account with them, you have to make 10 round trip trades to have the platform fee waived.

I have IB account and market data subscription but it doesn't work across firewall. Even quotetracker(QT) requires TWS signed in which is not possible due to firewall.

Actually, Infinity Futures provides two weeks of free charting for Infinity Charts, which you can try here: Infinity Charts - Software Installation

You can follow the instructions on the page for how to register for the free charting. This charting is pretty stripped down, and if you have fairly basic needs it's a good value, most people go for the $24/month service.

This is integrated with the Infinity AT, which you can also try here: Infinity Brokerage Services

If you have more questions, drop me a line at k.naik@infinitybrokerage. com.

I know that Ninja Trader and Open e-cry have charts with there demos. If you really want the data you can just keeping creating hotmail email accounts and when your demo is up, just register again. Just an idea.

How silly of me to forget. MBTrading has free realtime quotes for YM. However, of late, their quote stream had been more than alittle delayed. Hopefully in the future, they will correct the problem.

I have had an account at mb trading for several years. I orignally opened the account for stock trading. When they started providing futures data, I added that to my account. Now I have come to realize MBT's data feeds are often delayed during fast markets. Additionally they have had multiple internal situtations where their servers have gone down.

After talking with Infinity futures and testing their platform, I am moving my futures account to Chicago.
