The Service
Data Tools is a software package that updates end of day prices
from futures exchanges around the world.
The software is easy to install and
run. Once you’re set up, it’s simply a matter of connecting to the
Internet and clicking the “update” button.
As part of the installation process, a database of historical prices
is loaded on to your computer. This database is held in the MetaStock™
format (MetaStock™ is the standard international format for charting
packages). Each update appends the latest prices to the database.
Price
The service is well priced in the market place. We invite you to
shop around and compare features and prices.
But I can get free data from the Internet...
Free data is fine, if all you’re interested in is the latest price
of a futures contract. But if you wish to run your data through
a charting package, and make real use of it, you need to maintain
it. For instance, in order to get run an anlaysis on the contract,
you need to have its history. However, the history should be accurate,
and include sophisticated methods for combining multiple contracts
to provide you with a continuous chart.

Summary
If you are serious about trading the futures market, you need reliable
data. The Data Tools service takes care to ensure that the data
it provides is clean and well–organised, so that technical analysis
may be performed on it with ease and confidence.
