Interactive Brokers gives you US securities and Commodities market data for $10 a month (non-pro)

PRO or NON-PRO refers to your financial industry status. In other words, if you are hold professional licenses (Series 7, 55 etc) you "should" disclose that and pay much higher market data fees. Also, corporate accounts are also considered as PRO by brokers.

sorry for the late reply...IB gives you intraday data. you can even grab it (in real time) using their API and do whatever you want with it. They have also added charting capabilities to their TWS platform. IB used to be a quite spartan-like platform, but they have come a long way, constantly adding new features

thanks for your suggestions, guys. I'm considering trying Interactive Brokers as it looks like it's the cheaper alternative to get what I need
