    [Beginner] Is there free data feed?

    If you are happy for 130/M for roughly 1500/Y, then you should be happy to pay 1.5*50=75K for the next 50 years. Compounded summing up might gives you 200K (as much as your house) over 50 years. You chose good data after forfeiting your home.

    Trading with automation (with IB)

    Even though future/ETF seems almost NO tax to me as well, I guess there is SOME HIDDEN tax for them. Possbly your commission goes to tax in part by broker. Including corporate tax by broker, it is hard to estimate you total tax, since it is INDIRECT tax (paid by NOT YOURSELF).

    [Beginner] Is there free data feed?

    For backtesting by historical data, such as 500 equities with last 5-years' OHLC, we do NOT need intraday. However, for real cash trading, even equity trader need intraday 5-min data. If broker blocks user's IP, then of course he should leave the broker. Why do you pay commission to the broker...

    [Beginner] Is there free data feed?

    Of course, parsing takes more time in web, than most expect. Those (option/future???) who require data every seconds should not use web-crawling. But slow trader, such as me who need 5-min data for equity trading, might be satisfied with parsing. But it is NOT as complex as you imagine. Use...

    You do NOT have to provide API. Every(?) broker provides web-trading. If you do, we can use Selenium to access your webpage easily.

    Thanks. But there is some possibility in Excel MACRO that may have hidden contents. Most traders prefer clear program (with NO MACRO), such as free R or Python

    [Beginner] Is there free data feed?

    For the option/future traders, it is worth to pay substantial amount for the feed. However I am strictly equity trader who has a trading logic with 5-min or possibly 15-min.

    [Beginner] Is there free data feed?

    Thanks for helpful reply. I should choose roughly 300 (at most 500) good equities, for my personal logic. (Not interested in option/future+commodity+else) Possibly some of them are SnP500. I wonder if BATS is related to my good(???) 500 equities.

    The amount of $15 a month is equal to $200 a year. For the next 50 years, 50*200=10K will be compounded over long time.

    There are lots of how to send orders to IB server. In my case, web-crawling to IB website is available, so that 100 lines of order can be transmitted (by one-click) within minutes.

    [IB beginner] Time to allow order transmission?

    For TWS, probabbly we should use API program for 100 lines of order...? Here, we just like to use web page, to send 100 lines of order together (without human typing), by use of Selenium and C#.

    [IB beginner] Time to allow order transmission?

    In fact all orders (in my personal logic) are limit order with specific price. (you mean market order is with current price, isn't it?)

    Low commission for retail traders

    Based on the link, since most trader never trade 250000 shares per month, 100 share cost US$0.45. For easy way to remember, 200 share costs $0.9 which is a little bit half of IB, isn't it? Anyone have experience to use Robinhood? If not, it might be a ghost.
