How can I get realtime market data of the Nasdaq 100
to make a futures trading algorithm? Is this possible for free?
If not how much would it cost?

You might be able to get it on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange website (cme.com).

TradingView may have it as well.

Bookmap allows you to export the level 1, transacted volume data from the time and sales in real time and save it as a .csv file. They have a Rithmic subscription for $39/month/exchange as a data addon.
Example saving a short burst of the ES just now.

You can get CFD streams for free. Get an account at IG. They have a free API and have future CFDs and Spot/Cash.

If you want to get NQ futures streams, then you will need to get Sierra Chart, Rithmic, etc and need to pay CME licensing fees on top of platform subscription.

Index CFD tickers don’t have time and sales and generally no L2 data. However, IG does report the same volume data as the underlying future, albeit without aggressor aggregates.

The title of this thread has been changed from "Futures" to "Need Realtime Futures Data," to better describe what it's about.

Check out TradeStation. Free quotes with a minimum trading account and quality charts. The good traders usually use candlesticks.
