Isn't Quotetracker one of the free API's for IB? I've heard its good, but you have to store all data locally (on yer PC). BTW, my expenses: Qcharts $96 CSI for long term commodity data $36 Total: $132 I used to pay $800 plus in the late 80's, which was the going rate back then for live data delivered via sattelite. Jay
Quote tracker - $ 70 a year MB trading as one of my Brokers - Free data Feed and Level 2 Briefing .Com - I use the free one Backup ISP - $ 0 ( use to have one it was a waste of $$ now that I don't trade much ) Market Scanner - why bother , I only trade 6 stocks
SierraCharts $7/mo (need IB or myTrack acct) HQuote Pro (one time charge $55) for swiping free historical data, display in SierraCharts. I used to use QCharts, but find the above setup superior. It took a little getting used to though.
web site subscriptions: realmoney, minyanville, yahoo market tracker, briefing $55/mo esignal 140, qcharts 85 cable internet 40 tc2000 35 web based filter software 25 $380/mo
Are you scalping these on a 1 or 5 min. chart? These stocks don't seem to have enough range. -FastTrader
