Hi I'm looking for a live streaming chart data feed for the above to trade US shares and Indicies, maybe trading once or twice a day only. I've seen www.marketfeed.com and www.prophetfinance.com. Both look good albeit it looks like Prophet also provide charts as well as data ?) Any thoughts on the above are welcomed. Toby UK
Toby, If your going to use Quotetracker, why don't you use one of the free data services. Try http://www.sonictrading.com/ or http://www.scottrade.com It doesn't matter what data service you use, intraday charts are built into the program. Bob
Medved Qoute Tracker is free but you need a data feed for it. If you have an account with a broker they will give you a data feed. If you don't, I thinks Scottrade has a data feed for free.
MarketFeed is realtime streaming tick by tick feed. If you have an account with RJT it is also tick by tick but not as reliable as MarketFeed, but the feed is free. ScottTrade can only handle 10 stocks and it is not the most reliable. Datek's feed is free if you have an account with them. Datek's feed is not the most reliable either. Don't know much about Prophet except they are the most expensive, but you get their charts. I believe Sonic Trading was just added to the possible feeds for QT. I believe FreeTrade is also a new one. Soon I believe DTN.IQ will be a feed choice. With MarketFeed you can have 200 symbols. With RJT, you can only have 80. Datek is 80 also. Don't know about Prophet. Best have a reliable OS to go with QT or it likes to crash! Go scope out the Yahoo QT group. You can get answers to any question you have about QT... Oh, my choice for the best RT tick by tick and the most reliable feed for QT is MarketFeed.
Who do you get your backfill from? At the moment I have to get my backfill one stock at a time from Quote.com. Don't know why. I think it has something to do with the new beta...
