I subscribed to IQ. So far so good. Simple API

Great post about ATR @eganon69! The only thing I want to add is as an intraday equities trader, I use ATR(14) on 1 day time frame the day before to scan for potential stocks I want to trade. I divide ATR by price focus on stocks that have an average range of 3%-5% movement for the day. More...

I'll look into DTN IQ. Thanks! I've used IB, but my volume of historical requests to their server causes pacing violations. How about CQG/Continuum?

Hello, Can someone please recommend a RELIABLE market data provider for real time and historical quotes? Preferably with JAVA API connection. Thanks!

what do you trade?

Volume is my favorite indicator. I like OBV, which makes it easier to visualize volume action. I also like the ATR, which tells me which stocks are more likely to have worthwhile trades. A $60 stock with 0.1 ATR would be a waste of time to try to trade. A $10 with 2.5 ATR would be too volatile...

@Xela, you mentioned before that you don't use indicators anymore. Does that include MAs and volume?

Lee and Robert, which data provider would you guys recommend for equities for less than $300/mo? I know there are many inexpensive ones out there, but I don't mind paying a little more to get the best reliability. I don't need anything besides equities. Robert, My programmer really wanted FIX...

Robert, thanks for your reply. I'm not crazy about the NYSE non display fees that Lightspeed imposes. My integrations with TD ameritrade and IB do not impose such fees. I know you stated before it's out of your (Lightspeed's) hands, but the bottom line is I would like to avoid those fees if...

I need a good equities brokerage that uses FIX API and Initial funding requirement less than $1 million. Currently using IB, but I get pacing violations when repeatedly requesting historical data for more than 20 stocks at a time within a 10-minute time frame. I found tons of forex...

Robert, thanks for your response. I forgot to answer 1 of your questions in my response. It's equities, not future. There are a lot of different fees listed in the non display use form. Which one would be applicable for the end user? Is that the $1000 per account?
