Hello, I was wondering if any one has used barchart.com's realtime service??? It seems fairly cheap compared to the other service's out there... What is it missing that I might need? Where else could I go for quotes and charts that might be better? Or a better value?
Noma, depends on what you need. I found barcharts to be a bit awkward, but I have never used the realtime subscription. As far as cost goes, many here like the lycos live charts. They are only $9.95 a month plus exchange fees. I only trade e mini, so my needs might be different than yours. One thing I learned when shopping for charts, it is usually a good idea to subscribe one month at a time instead of trying to save on the one year discount. Because needs change and so do the chart vendors.
I had Barcharts realtime streaming quotes for a while. It's Java based streaming quotes in your browser. It offers bid/ask size, bid/ask, last. You don't have streaming charts. I used it as backup for my streaming quotes from my broker. Cheers !!!
