I can do barchart. Looking into it.
not sure if they do continuous future contracts - pinged them the question, but I guess not. would you also tie individual contracts together to build a longer (than 1 to 3 months) timeline? or isn't simpler to focus on IQFeed?
@andreireiand depends on performance. I built the trivial quotes and historical readers, they're on my fork. Going to give this a try next.
I see Barchart has "continuous" futures: Open a dashboard chart - with say, ESM18. Goto Settings -> Adjustments -> Backadjust History w/ Continuous Roll types ... that's neat.
If you plan to look @ IQFeed as well, let me know - I might be able to help.
From what I could see it looks like IQFeed is a paid subscription service. Data sources of this type are not generally integrated into PDR (I believe). I dont have a sub so most likely wont be able to write a wrapper.
Barchart also requires a paid subscription for all endpoints except getQuotes and getHistory. Historical data only available 6 months back. I'll make a pull for the quotes, but I'm not sure if the historical would be even particularly useful given its limited time ranges.
or any other reliable source of futures data (such as IQFeed, etc)
