Not quite free, but very close. Only exchange fees which is $3 per month for real time Level I US stocks. Futures a bit more expensive, but still just the exchange fees.

Access to the Live book of the DOW futures market is provided free by the CBOT:

I'm new to all this so I hope I'm saying the right thing, I have a demo account with a CFD provider which allows me to access everything real time. So I get to sit and watch things tick up and down as well as test out their charting software.

I have started using http://www.howthemarketworks.com/ for testing out new trading ideas I don't want to spend money on.
I was really surprised to see that this site has real time data, and for liquid stocks it's pretty close to my real account for fills.

 

[dealer911]

i think all data should be both real time and FREE!.. is this not the age of the Freeconomy!

Hi all...

I'm new here as well as being somewhat new to trading..got about 9 months under my belt in trading Futures. Seems like there is alot of people here with experience in trading which is great to know in case I've got a question...or two ..or three.

I do have 1 question if anyone can assist me. I use Tradestation 8.6 platform for trading the TF Emini Russell 2000 using tick charts of varying timeframes. Does anyone know if Tradestation has a playback feature to watch the market recording of the day? I think this would be a great tool to use where I could see where and why I made the mistakes I made and use my tools to figure out where I went wrong while its playing back, ie; Fibonacci Ret and extensions, and a couple indicators I am using in testing.

Thanks for any help and glad to be part of the T2W community and hope to chat with some of you soon.
