    no :(

    i tried saxobank .. its showing 15 min delay .. thats worse than the one i had before .. the only positive i see here is rates update automatically ..

    i feel delayed quotes trading is valid cause over long term its the same .. i get delayed fills and delayed exits .. so they average out

    but please help if u can give me a live site or source

    You are having this problem because the exchange data (quotes) are the property of the respective exchanges (CME in the case of ES) and these exchanges do not allow the realtime data to be given out for free. There are mainly 2 ways to get realtime ES data.

    1) Open a trading account with a Futures broker and you can get realtime ES quotes.

    2) As you wrote above, there are several companies that provide realtime futures data for a charge. Some examples are eSignal, IQfeed, Tradestation, etc. You can pay them a monthly fee and get realtime data and charts from these companies. Google to search for their websites.

    In both of the above cases, the data come in 'streaming'. That means that it constantly updates itself and you do not have to 'refresh' after every few seconds.

    Do a forum search here on ET to learn more about data-providers and datafeeds.

    Thanks to some friends here.. Ive been told esignal is good for just data cause im not sure bout the implications of opening a broking account in the US.

    Any other feedback is welcome. Till then probably there is no point in trading :cool: . I'm completely convinced and so are some keen followers who are supporting me thro PMs.

    I have returned more than 75 % after commissions by earning net almost $ 150, 000. I think a lot of traders would be happy doing even 1/10 of that (forgive my "fact hurts" thingie), even considering the heavy margin reqmts.

    if any of you require any info pl dont hesitate to ask .. . here in india my main focus is on teaching so i never ever will stop doing that no matter what..

    thanks
