i'm looking for a datafeed service that can handle radarscreen. having only been using complete charting solution in the past (qchart) i have little experience of data vendor. i mostly need RT data for NYSE&NASDAQ stock, providing the data source can handle as much simultaneous ticker as possible due to radarscreen's need. i'm using a broadband internet connection (not satellite)
thanks very much both you guys. when using market scan the single most important factor is the # of symbol that can be watched simultaniously : esingal has a "100 symbol" limit, while IQ feed is running a 200 cap. i guess in neither case those these limitation stop one from creating 100/200 symbol stock list and scaning them alternatively, but i'd rather have a confirmation on that from an experienced user. thanks in advance,
Just to expound this a bit further eSignal can be increased to a 1000 symbol limit if the need arises. For more information, please see... http://www.esignal.com/esignal/pricing/default.asp
I will warn you though. The Server in 2000i is so bad, that eventually you it will crash your computer almost 4 or 5 times a day. If it weren't for GS, 2000i would actually be a decent product. nitro
Just wanted to correct the statement of a 200 symbol cap on IQFeed. IQFeed comes standard with a 500 symbol limit. Jay Froscheiser DTN Market Access
I just started trying to use 2000i, no GS problems yet but I wrote an indicator and got different results in RadarScreen from results in a chart. That is a little sign to me that maybe I will use something else, especially since there are no more patches for the software. You can have unlimited symbols using quote.com and Metaserver R/T from Traders-soft but the quote.com data can be problemmatical. For after hours scanning you can use Qloader from the same guys and import the data to GS. Max
