    I am trying to figure out my options for a DDE feed. I need a feed that separates regional quotes from NYSE quotes on the bid/ask.

    The software I know of that do this are:
    Redi+
    AT Financial
    eSignal (can someone confirm this?)

    I know the following feeds don't work:
    Qfeed
    IQFeed


    Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Try IB.

    IB has a small symbol limit. I need 500 symbol ability.

    Any other suggestions? I'm testing eSignal but their feed does not appear to be accurate. Their bid/ask data is often different in the DDE than the program itself.
     
  4. The q feed is better than the TAL feed I can tell you that. Friend of mine just switched over likes it better.
     
  5. IQFeed has full support for Excel DDE. Their subscription is max 500 symbols. $20/month + exchange fees (more for options, futures) if signed up through QuoteTracker. Excel DDE can be used with that subscription with or without QuoteTracker running.

    I called IQFeed yesterday. The rep said it is not possible to filter out regional exchanges in their DDE feed. Can you confirm this?

    Example:

    If ISLD is the best bid in AOL I don't want to see that price. I only want to see the best NYSE price.
     
  7. ah, did not know that. Must be a restriction on the DDE feed specifically.
