    I guess you wouldn't need level two but does Yahoo offer tick data or is it just time based prices and volume?

    That is what I am not sure of.
    Anyone here could confirm that Yahoo does provide tick data but has delays?

    Never heard of Yahoo providing tick data, ever. I mean live quotes were a new thing just a few years ago, hoping for tick data is unrealistic.

    As I do not use Yahoo/Google finance I couldn't be sure. Wouldn't make much sense for us suckers that pay for tick data if it were available for free.

    You misunderstood me. Maybe I was not clear enough.

    I am aware that Yahoo Finance does not provide historical tick data. I am actually trying to find out if it provides real-time/delayed quotes update (tick-by-tick). Because from that, I could plot my own tick chart (starting with the first tick bar and build them up over time).

    P.S. Running my own machine to accumulate tick data - 24/5.

    I think the prices aren't updated per tick but by a time interval but that's just a guess.
