what is the best data provider?

[StratResearcher]

For charting data, what's the best approach if I just want to analyse emini futures data for 2009-2012? Should I download data to import, or subscribe to a data provider and then connect with ninjatrader?

Hi StratResearcher,

Thanks for your post.

I'd personally recommend a data provider as this would likely have the advantage of providing you with real-time data as well.

[StratResearcher]

do you have any specific recommendations?
