Guy,
I am a new user of Primate Software, the Quote Monkey people. I have only
used it for a week, and will spend this day verifing the futures data
delivered to the settlement prices from the CME and CBOT. I cannot,
therefore, attest to the accuracy of the data, but the download speed and
ease of use is fantastic.
(I have verified the stock data's accuracy for the issues I follow, and
this is correct). I downloaded the J-Yen wednesday at 4:00pm CST, thinking
I would get historic data, and got the historic and EOD on all of my
futures. I could chart before I left my office.
Someone on this list recommended the service. The link is
