    That use free data feeds? motivewave, ninjatrader, use free data feeds and have free versions for charting. Paid for trading.

    You have a rather strange friend.

    Your friend can simply join ET and ask questions.
     
  4. And why "Medved like" vs Medved Trader itself?

    Just in case it is tied to the TD Ameritrade => Schwab account transitions, there are VERY simple workarounds for that....

    Well TD Ameritrade => Schwab account transition is affecting every one of the platforms that uses TDA API to connect. Which includes every one of the above mentioned platforms.

    That's the issue. Jerry at medved said they will have an API working around March.

    OH....... it's the man himself. Can you post a link to explain the work around for this issy?
     
  8. Actually, we were saying that we are expecting to have the Schwab integration done BEFORE March. just can't say when specifically.
    We've had many clients switching to different brokers, different datafeeds, etc.
    BY FAR The easiest option is to just open a NEW TD Ameritrade account. Yes, TD Ameritrade is still there. a newly opened account will remain on TD Ameritrade until they migrate all the accounts in March, by which time Schwab integration should be done.

    If you go to the ameritrade website, default for opening the account takes you to schwab and the link for opening a TD Ameritrade is buried deep - not obvious. Well, here it is:
    https://start.tdameritrade.com/select?entity=103

    If you need the account for just data, you can open it and fund with minimal amount.
    If you need to be able to trade, you can make sure you open same account type as what was moved to Schwab, and then transfer the assets to the new TD Ameritrade account

    Opening a new account with TDA takes just a few minutes and you would have datafeed running. Asset transfer is a couple days I think

    You can of course also subscribe to 3rd party datafeeds such as dxFeed or QuoteMedia:

    They are VERY good, but just involve more cost.
