Carp - The login issues with Scottrade - You will not have them if you use QuoteTracker to access Scottrade's streaming quotes (it caches the login in case of failure) As for periodic outages, well, thats Scottrade for you. Their streamer is very limited (max 10 symbols at a time for free...

BullFigher, somehow I really think it IS free. I know - I designed it. It can be used for free. All functionality is enabled and there are no time limits. The paid registration is only if you want to get rid of the ads. Jerry Medved 2GK, Inc. http://www.quotetracker.com

Derek, Thanks for the input. Noted. IB does not try to be a data provider and being that they now charge(?) for the quotes, using them for just trading may fit in well with many users - trade through IB, get data through a low priced subscription (most of the ones we support are between...

Ed, we already do much of that, but our inline charts, if selected, are available on every visible symbol, so we cannot limit it to a finite number. Data for full intraday charts and the corresponding calculations is only kept for the open charts already. using 3rd party DB creates other...

1) using a 3rd party database is not a roadblock. It just would not solve the problem. We keep stuff in memory for speed. Having to go to the database for everything would slow things down significantly. If the database was in memory, that would defeat the purpose of switching to a database...

We have been planning on implementing multi-day charts for a while, but there are a number of technical issues that complicate it. 1) Storage - QT keeps every tick for every stock you track in memory, which is how you are able to see all the inline charts and open so many intraday charts...

Getting volume from a different feed is not an option and would defeat the purpose anyway. If you had another datafeed, you would not need IB's. As for 2 symbols on the same chart, can't do it right now, though there is a bit of a workaround. The new version supports translucent charts. You...

We are looking at the API to integrate it. By the way, the quotes are missing HIGH/LOW as well as volume. I cannot say that I am too crazy about the idea of having quotes without volume since many of the technical indicators and other features are dependent on it. We may have to track the...

version77, Yes, that is correct. ($43 with futures, $23 just stocks) As for "direct" quote vendors, IQFeed is #19 on the list - Data Transmission Network (DTN).

version77, actually, IQFeed just changed their pricing yesterday for QuoteTracker users. They lowered the fee to $20 per month and waive the setup fee. Therefore, you can now get max 500 symbols for $20 + $20 for futures (+$3 for NASDAQ, NYSE, Amex assuming you want those :) ). Tick-by-tick...

neo_hr - We do not currently support Telescan or Quicken.com, but do have a number of others. if you need tick-by-tick, MarketFeed subscription will work just fine. Will be adding Level II as an option for them soon as well. We also added A.B. Watley tick-by-tick quotes recently and will be...

neo_hr, QT does not currently support multi-day intraday charts, so backfilling for that time frame is not available either. We will look at adding that option in the future. airspeed - just because you are using IB, does not mean you cannot use QT for the charting, quotes, news, etc...

dkamp, Scottrade returns 1 or 5 minute OHLC backfill depending on when the request is made. That is as intended. Keep in mind that the latest values on the chart will come from the current quote source, not the backfill. 1 minute OHLC data is sufficient for that. Also, that is exactly the...

Kicking - Yes, we do make money from the advertising, though we do have other sources of income as well - registrations, private label licensing, affiliate programs, etc. QuoteTracker is NOT a beta. It has been available to the public for over 3 years for free and will remain so. Security...
