Yes, a lot of these companies have terrible service and are nearly impossible to get through to. I have sent inquiries to Tickdata and ActiveTick and neither has responded, just completely ignored my inquiry. Do they want my money or not? I guess my money isn't good enough for them. :mad...

It depends a lot on what type of trading you are doing. I run some algos and for that, I'm now using the TickView feed from QuantQuote and paying several hundred per month for it on top of the professional exchange fees. For fast trading, the lower latency and more comprehensive data is worth...

Unfortunately out of sequence trades occur quite often and it is necessary to use sale condition to distinguish them. This is something that the QuantQuote tick data has, the NASDAQ ITCH data should have it as well.... Basically, after an execution occurs, the exchanges don't always report it...

Bloomberg gives convenient access to info like, GDP, unemployment numbers, rates, etc. Google doesn't offer any streaming market data for machine consumption, but if just want to look at prices and basic charts by eye, it is certainly good enough for that.

There was a seeking alpha article about this today. No speculation on when the next mark to market will occur, but it did finger a couple other companies that could potentially have large mark to markets in the future...

Yea, seems many had anticipated the 8.8B mark to market....and just as many didn't :cool:

Looks like OP is looking for a live feed. What is wrong with something like google finance? Google does have live streaming data and has a average lag of maybe 1 or 2 seconds. There's no reason to pay for data unless those 1 or 2 seconds makes a difference for you and you need to see book depth...

Do you know the sale condition of these errant trades? Sometimes, executions are indeed reported very late. And these late trades may even come with a recent exchange timestamp, but are actually from an earlier execution. Finally, I've found that it is hugely important for backtesting to...

don't fight the trend. aapl has had years to build up a huge investor base, many of who are starting or continuing to sell now.

Why would a successful trader come to you rather go to a prop firm? If it is all about establishing a track record, you can also do that via prop and similar to what you offer, one doesn't have to find all the investment capital by themselves.

Yea, I really don't have any suggestions for you. There was another guy who bought puts yesterday, I recommend that he get out at the first sign of a bump this morning. Now that the huge rally has occurred, i'll be the first to admit i have no idea where it is going next, any further trading...

peil wasn't entirely wrong. there WAS a shorting opportunity, i made a cool 10% on the short side last week. the mistake, as usual, is timing. when you see retail traders piling onto a stock, it's usually a good indication to start going the other way because there's going to be somebody big...

Yea, the writing was all over the walls on this one. Up in pre-market on heavy volume. Lots of institutional interest likely to step in at around 20. This is why I said earlier that any shares picked up at below $20 would be a bargain. If 21.50 is broken, 22 is within striking distance...

I'm not sure if it was MM this morning or not, but HUGE orders (we're talking hundreds of thousands of shares) were placed as FB neared $20 this morning. Once a big player steps in like that, it's over.

Yes, went long at the opening cross, got 20.10. Should break 21 to close above 21. Will be getting out once I see a red bar.

Get out everybody. FB is being supported at 20. Huge orders being placed each time it nears 20. There are big players in action today. Without knowing their intentions, retail is likely to lose.

Institutions don't start buying until opening cross. And today, they will hold off until the volatility at open settles down. After that, it's an avalanche of buying through the day... There's a lot of big players who think FB is a long term value play and that the stock has bottomed. Once...

You guys are all wrong, FB set to surge today. Look at the last couple pages here: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3680030#post3680030 \

Unfortunately, it looks like I'm right and shorters are going to be in major trouble today. There's still an hour until open and FB is already testing 20.25. EDIT: decisive break above 20.25, look for open around 20.50, hope you guys are all long now. approaching 5 million shares traded...

It is already priced in. On any dip below $20, institutions who want in are already waiting to buy shares. And lets say you are right, of the shares hitting the market tomorrow, 10% are to be sold. They aren't all going to go the very first day. They will be staggered out over the next...
