Quandl proposes (free) futures daily data.

For instance :
ES June 2014: https://www.quandl.com/CME/ESM2014
ES continuous contract: https://www.quandl.com/CHRIS/CME_ES1 or https://www.quandl.com/OFDP/FUTURE_ES1

More information on:
Quandl futures page: Futures - Data from Quandl
Quandl API for futures : Quandl - Find, Use and Share Numerical Data
Quandl futures continuous contracts : Continuous [AUTOLINK]Contracts[/AUTOLINK] - Data from Quandl

I will try to play with it in my journal, from that message on.

Take care that, even if Yahoo Finance and Google Finance quickly update their data with the OHLC of the day, Quandl does not reflect this update as quickly. More information in that message.

@IlyaKipnis is on futures.io (formerly BMT) now as well if there are any questions about the package.

Whoa.

Quandl is WikiLeaks for futures data. So much for my weekend.

That java example is really cool to see. I feel like I'm being forced to learn java because of Hadoop.

I have thought a good bit about errors in data and it has kind of led to a more hazy view of the markets in general.
The process creating the data is so noisy what good is a strategy that can't handle even a 5% error rate in the data.

Business wise, the quandl owners surely hold a call option on being bought out.

Howdy--

I posted some findings on Quandl's historical daily data here: .

I thought some of you might also be interested.

All best,
