I use IB and have down loaded futures data from years back. What issues are you encountering?

For third party providers, I hear that eSignal is good.

EoD Data is what I use. They provide data going back 20 years (maybe more?), in a variety of formats. The data can be loaded and used by Multicharts though depending upon what data you need (daily, tick, with or without financials, etc) you may need to do some massaging of the data. https://eoddata.com/download.aspx

Anyway EoD is who I use when I want to go crazy on the research.

I do not use multicharts, but if they allow CQG or Rithmic...they are your best options for futures historical data.
