would you feel cheated? ameritrade purports to provide a realtime squawk service from Benzinga. As it is they stink, BUT the audio is lagged by more then 30 seconds. I know this for a fact. Seems like fraud to me. ZERO reason for a 30 sec delay in audio
How did you test to determine it was about 30 seconds delay such as another service to put it out 30 seconds earlier ? What if the squawk itself is getting it 30 seconds delay but is giving it to you in real-time as soon as they get the info.
For once I actually agree with soes. I've seen delays in news feeds and it seemed damned suspicious to me. Luckily I don't trade news any more.
News trading for humans has been dead for 2 years pre/post market and 3 years intraday. Nothing but news reading bots and liquidity vacuums Sucks. News trading used to be an ATM
It doesn't bother me because I will be focusing on real time charts rather than reading / hearing news.
He could be focusing on both but discover one of them (news) is not real-time as promised while discovering most of these "real-time news" are actually released to their readers from 5 seconds - 1 minute after announced especially the ones that have other various services in comparison to the ones exclusively only dealing with news. Its kind'uv like discovering the real-time charting service is actually "a few" seconds delayed after comparing it to another real-time charting service or worst...the data has been "filtered". Several threads at this forum about the latter involving real-time charting services that "filter" their data. Thus, what you see on your charts...is missing some info but many are satisfy about such because it looks close enough.
This is the real answer... That being said, watching CNBC on my tablet is almost a minute behind the cable broadcast.
Wow, never thought of that lol dude, trust me. its delayed. and no warning of the delay is ever mentioned. its implied that its realtime, its a lie
