Cheapest data stream

Details please. Tick data or EOD. How far back? How deep? Generally, i'm wary of this "cheapest data" combination. But it all depends on what you want to do with it.

 

What is the max you'd like to pay?
Cause, for that many stocks, real-time, it won't be cheap.

 

Once per minute 1-2k stocks coverage would be fine.

I see no options under 200usd yet.

 

Interesting ,Are spreads higher than IBKR for FANG stocks?

 

You don’t need to execute there, just fetch data. The data is the same as IBKR from my testing. Although I’d recommend Tradier for the lowest fee option trading anywhere.

www.iqfeed.net is under $100 though you may have to add to get as many stocks as you want.

I have a tailored plan including US stocks coverage ($200). Be careful, the plan priced $500+ is for global stocks/equity markets that you might not need. I would recommend to contact them first.
