FWIW- I'm hearing rumors that Microsoft is working on a quote feed... dunno if they are going after realtime data or end-of-day Fletch
What about Tradestation Pro? Is it good? any good/bad experiences? Also, where can I find a system that shows the volume in the Level 2 with the real volume size, i mean, you don't have to add 2 zeros.... Thanx
>Also, where can I find a system that >shows the volume in the Level 2 with >the real volume size, i mean, you don't >have to add 2 zeros.... If you select your data supplier based on a desire to not have to append 2 zeros, you may well be disappointed. It really isn't that hard...just read the number out loud and then say the word "hundred" after it. JB
Turok, I was told that Tradestation's Level 2 display the additional 2 zeros, but now the product is available only to those who open an account with them, or those who was already a subscriber. What's your opinion about it? I've had their 10 days free-trial two months ago, and I liked a lot their Level 2 quote. Is very organized and I could deal better with it. (It may sound stupid, but it's true). Do you know if their quotes are any good? I also heard that they are feeded by S&P ComStock. Would be better to be linked direcly to S&P Comstock, instead of Tradestation? Please help me...hehe IF tradestation isn't avalable anymore, what data vendor can I check out that may have what I'm looking for? Thanx
There are a lot of complaints about TS Platform on the Omega List. Subscribe to the list at omega-list@eskimo.com with the word "subscribe" in the subject line. You'll get a lot of noise in your mailbox but you can ask some of the users for an opinion.
>IF tradestation isn't avalable anymore, >what data vendor can I check out that >may have what I'm looking for? If what you're looking for is 2 zeros at the end of every volume value then I can't help you. If this is the case, I would however argue that you might want to adjust your priority list a bit and search for a data supplier who has fast reliable quotes. You can adapt to missing zeros -- you can't adapt to stale, ureliable data. RealTick and Redi+ are two data providers that through my own testing I have come to trust. I have come to NOT trust a whole slew of others (including Tradestation) Your results may vary. JB
I just received an e-mail from DataCodeinc.com with a .bmp screen shot that shows there next Level II with 00's. I tried to cut and paste but can't so just send me an e-mail and I'll send this information to you.
just to add my 5 pence worth i found www.riskbox.com worth a look too! Because it's got all the functionalities to manage my portfolio there - real-time prices, risk management and portfolio management and it covers the markets i trade on - not just US ones! Duncan
