I spent a good year and a half calling on upper level management at TD Ameritrade to do something about their crappy "snap-shot" data feed that was nothing close to REAL-TIME. They kept making promises over that time, about how things were going to get better. Finally, the executive assistant to the CEO admitted to me that it just wasn't going to happen. It sure seems like they have put all of their "eggs" into supporting the Think or Swim platform. Unfortunately, that STILL has the same crappy "snap-shot" data-feed. It's unacceptable.
It's good to see DTN and IQFeed showing concern for QuoteTracker users. I've used their datafeed in the past and it was always good. I'm using TD Ameritrade's datafeed(including Level II) now (it's almost free) and I wonder if that will become unavailable to the patched QT once TDA shuts QT down. Does anyone know about this?
As you might tell by the replies in this thread, nobody seems to know much of anything regarding the continuation of QT. It is a mystery. Time will tell. That's what makes it so exciting!!!!
Patch http://myfreefilehosting.com/f/a4988abdfc_3.89MB doesn't seem to work for me . Where can I find a working copy?
Good Idea but I think it would be more effective if we contact someone in upper management who would be concerned if enough people threatened to find another broker if QT is dumped. Anyone know the e-mail address of the CEO?
Even more effective would be a petition with 100 or more QT users signing. That might catch the CEO's eye. Up to this point it's only scattered individuals complaining, easy to dismiss from a financial point of view. Especially since the complaints seems to go no further than the tech support supervisors.
