If we do not offer a format that works for you or have questions
The ASCII Data Download website offers a flexible means of getting data in a format that will work a variety of programs. This site offers data for the US Futures Exchanges in ASCII formated files on an End-of-Day basis. We offer a wide range of features such as a user friendly interface, a wide variety of format options, and fast downloads. Look below for more details on each section of the ASCII Data Download site.
Available Dates for Download
The ASCII Data Download site was designed to download data for either daily end-of-day data, i.e. all trades for all contracts traded in a single day, or historical data for a single contract. Subscribed and logged in users can take advantage of downloading multiple files instead of one file at a time and will have access to the latest data available.
Commodity List
Our Commodity List allows you to pick and choose which symbols you can download, or you can simply download all of the symbols at once. For Historical data, you can select a single symbol and download all the contracts for any given year over the last 5 years.
Customizable and Preset Formats
The biggest advantage of the ASCII Data Download site is its flexiblity. You can take advantage of our "Preset Formats", which are popular formats for many programs. If need a more customizable format, you can use our "Custom Formats" selection, which allows you to fine tune the format for each section of the record. You can alter the Spacer, Contract, Price values, and Date Style.

And if that still not enough, contact us, and we will try to make it available.
File Formats
We offer two different file formats for you to choose from. The "csv" file format allows you to open the file in any spreadsheet program. The "txt" can be opened in any text editor such as Microsoft Word or Notepad. You can also import these formats into other programs depending on its import requirements.
