    Why is SPY holding at near-record highs with demand driving bond yields down and gold soaring?

    This market doesn’t make sense to me. - The 10T dropped below 2% today. - Money is flowing into gold - No Fed rate cut yesterday - Inverted yield curve Yet the S&P is hovering at near record highs!!! The above factors should drive the equities markets down as money flows into fixed income...

    Agreed. All brokers give you some form of free MD, but I wouldn’t describe it as “solid.” You get what you pay for; and MD is the life blood of this industry. For comparison, BB charges about 2K/month—all the pros have it, for good reason.

    I see your point, but looking at delayed data makes me uncomforable—even the IB 250ms delay doesn’t sit well with me.

    I called them. They transferred me around; and... nobody knows. They told me to file a support ticket, so that they can route it to the right person. So, at this point, let's assume sorcery and magic.

    any low cost real-time market data source??

    You have to declare if you're an amateur or professional when you set up any brokerage account, and may have to confirm it yearly. A key consideration is if you are trading with other peoples' money. That's a big one; I think that you might need to be licensed to do this.

    any low cost real-time market data source??

    Agreed. The table shows three ticks at 1ms, 2ms, and 3ms. I'm demonstrating how a price quote is computed in one 250ms period. Let me clarify that in the table. Yeah I remember them talking about that. Only if the price in the previous period was unchanged. This surprises me, are you sure...

    Example based on a number of discussions I had with IB. If I am wrong, please prove me so. Imagine 3 price quotes with trading volume at each: Time Price Volume Total 1ms 17.45 1000 17450 2ms 17.46 50 873 3ms 17.47 25 437 TOTAL...

    any low cost real-time market data source??

    IB price quotes are 4 per second--one every 250ms--each a volume-weighted average. Take INTC on the Nasdaq for example, which runs at 1 tick per millisecond. IB will apply a volume weight coefficient to each price, average all 250 of them, and voila! You've got your quote. What do you expect...

    It's a little worse than usual, but the site is directly across the street from the La Brea tar pits, so don't blow it out of proportion.

    I need a pair of kickass speakers

    Price: about 1k Size: Anywhere from bookshelf to about 4 feet high. Subwoofer: probably not, I live in an apartment, and my neighbors are not entirely happy with me already. A two-speaker system is fine.

    I need a pair of kickass speakers

    I have a pair of Martin Logan Motion 4 bookshelf speakers right now, but I need more sound. Can anyone recommend a decent set of speakers for an audiophile? - They will be used for listening to music: not hooked up to a TV, home theater, or the like. - Source of music is usually either a...

    I think that his suicide was bullshit. Let’s call it an “assisted suicide,” shall we?

    Rare earth elements aren’t the secret weapon China thinks they are

    Processing rare earths is horrible for the environment. Exponentially worse than, say, cyanide leaching of gold. Yes, we can produce them here, but we may kill the redwoods in the process.
