I am trying to get futures symbols from cme.
I'm not aware of a getSymbols.cmegroup function for source 'cmegroup'. Did you write one? ?- Brian
Do any of the current methods support the lookup of futures symbols like the Emini?
The CME Group, like most exchanges, charges for their data. http://www.cmegroup.com/market-data/datamine-historical-data/ We get historical futures data from Reuters or CQG, but many other sources are available. ?As Mark Breman has pointed out, none of them, to the best of my knowledge, are free. ?The exception may be your broker. Brokers that cater to individual traders will often provide some historical data. Regards, ?- Brian
Thanks for the info Brian. I have access to historical and real-time futures data through TradeStation. It's just a little more work to get it into R. (export/import) I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something free and easier to do. Cheers, Mark
