    Programming Question

    Has anyone out there ever obtained quote data from an exchange and have it filtered into their own quote program? I'm thinking about writing a program (read:hiring someone to write) which would analyse price data, but not sure whether an api for an existing quote provider would do the trick, so...

    You mean like an I-Bank style squawk coming from the bank's trading floor to their retail desks or a squawk from the floor itself ?(not sure I'd need Maria Bartiromo in surround sound)

    Don's Openings, Part 6 2003

    In complete agreement. Haven't had a chance to run all the numbers, usually wait till the slowtime for that, but the number of fills did seem to be off the wall considering the near flat open.

    NYSE liquidity quote/effects on price improvement?

    Preach it brother, I couldn't agree more. I can only think they fear the ECN's, and that they believe this is a competitive step to keep any volume they have now.
