When it comes to public dissemination of data you have
to be careful because of the licensing agreement we
all sign with the providers and the exchanges. As a
friend of mine found out, the data is proprietary by
the provider (dbc, dtn, etc) and the exchanges. The
providers pay $$$ to exchange to disseminate it real
time and historically. In fact, it says in the
exchange agreement you sign that you agree to use data
for yourself or give it only your employees.
A friend of mine wanted to do something like this a
year or so ago but then canceled the plans after
reading the exchnage data agreement and the agreement
he signed with his provider. Basically you agree not
to dessiminate it real time or otherwise.
If it stays small you might be able to keep off the
radar but if it gets too big then I'd be leary.
Now if you can figure out a way to make us all your
employees, sign me up. :)
Good luck.

In about a month I'll have a box with plenty of
off-peak bandwidth, although
storage maybe another issue depending on the amount of
historical data to
store.

Yes. We could all use a way to get chunks of missing
data.

I don't have the on-line bandwidth, but I'd be willing
to
collect/organize/store data on disk or CD's to upload
to people who
might have the bandwidth. This might include complete
data sets for
one futures contract as well as daily updates for all
contracts/indices. It might be nice to have continuous
contracts as
well.
If anyone has such data, please start sending it to
me, (but not
20Gigs in one email) :-) or tell me how to access it,
and I'll start
the process. It might be good to start with the most
popular data [SP,
ES, ND, etc]. As on-line storage becomes available,
I'll upload it for
all to use.
Would it be best to use .omz so both TS4 and TS2k
people could use it?
