Free sources of historical tick data for futures — alternatives to paid data?

New comment
 
Hi,

I’d like to ask where you get free historical tick data for futures? From what I can see, access to such data is usually paid, but I’m wondering if there might be some way around it.

I was thinking about using CFD broker data as an approximation — of course it won’t be 100% accurate compared to the futures market, but it seems like it could reasonably reflect general price movement dynamics.

What has been your experience with this? Do you use any free data sources or build your own solutions for constructing tick history? I’ve checked the resources on MQL5.com but couldn’t find a ready-made tool for this purpose.

Thanks in advance for any tips or insights.
 
I just did a search for free historical futures data in my browser, and it's out there. All of the websites have commercial advertising so I won't be posting links here.
