Dear- Using the yahoo quote, we may catch (see) almost real-time quote, as in http://finance.yahoo.com/quote/MSFT?p=MSFT It seems that the "as of" time under the quote is within ONE MINUTE of my local computer screen. If so, we can automatically scrap the website for personal watch list(for example 200 equities), by using such as https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_...h=n:283155,k:automated+data+collection+with+r Appreciated if someone has done this or can do this. -Jay
It takes money to trade. You'd do well do get a day job and husband your resources till costs such as data are affordable for you.
Of course, I have income to pay such as $10/M for data feed. However we may need a safe (sustainable) way for the feeding. If you don't like it, do not do it.
jk90029, have a look at some professional providers, that'll cost you 200-400 a months but at least you'll have clean, unfiltered data, with a relatively stable API.
Now I get it. @jk90029 posted a link to Amazon with a referrer tag, his plan is to earn money from ET to pay for real-time data from a provider by asking for things on ET that he doesn't need. Pretty smart
Not just for money. For example, many install fire place, for sustainable living in case of power dead. Although electricity/gas might be useful and convenient,it may be dead in emergency. Anyway everyone choose their own way for living. No objection if some use ONLY electricity/gas. At least yahoo data may be accessible by web-scrapping, although it may be a lot slower than commercial data provider.
You do understand that real-time data for NASDAQ/NYSE issues costs $3 combined for individuals? There's being frugal and then there's being absurd. Also, if a broker's data feed is down, so is Yahoo's most likely.
Most logic require your condition. However my personal logic need roughly 5-min intraday price. Anyway I am not so greedy person to save $10/D. Probably no ETers use yahoo web for data feed, so far.
