Re: Sources of data - Maybe worth mentioning that Interactive Brokers will sell you real time data for about $10/mo (CBOT Futures in my case, your market may vary) if you have a funded account ($5k minimum). This is for non-professional use naturally. Also they have a pretty nice API that allows you to literally take any action what so ever.

Also, they provide delayed data for free (10-15 minute delayed).

If you can do with delayed data, I wrote a post on my data extraction using IB. This works pretty neatly both with R and Python for my analysis.
