MRBRETTONWOODS, I've tested IQFeed's latency - it is hudge (>1 min) comparable to DJ, here is the screenshot.

Has anyone tested IQFeed's latency ? Is it less then 1 second at least?

Yes, the price is not so nice.

Thank you! It seems that you are right, this broker's feed misses ticks. As for TradeStation, it is not the case anymore, if there is no data, no ticks appear. E.g. for minutes or seconds bars, if there were no trades - no bars appear.

However, TradeStation gives other picture

Don't know know what is the reason of intraday gaps in Gold and can I predict time of its occurrence in order to stay aside? For example, here is a situation that occurred while scalping Gold. I placed a limit buy order at 1401.5. My broker filled it. However I cannot see my trade among...

What is the lag? More then a second or less?

Hello! I want to build a robot that reacts quickly to jobless claims numbers. Bloomberg is the only place I know is providing such a service. May be you know other places? I wanted to get info from Bloomberg website...

LightSpeed gives level 2 $20/mo (for stocks). It offers demo also.

I've done the tests: LightSpeed gives MORE ticks then IQFeed. IQFeed gives MORE ticks then TradeStation (e.g. TradeStation gives 130 ticks per minute, IQFeed gives 186 ticks per minute for GLD). Besides TradeStation does not have historical bid/ask prices (IQFeed does). However this is...

Have anyone tried to get real-time data from them? I receive heartbeats but do not receive any so-called "tick" updates. Support is silent.

The problem is solved now. It was due to combination of 2 settings in Sierra Chart: 1) Intraday Data Storage Time Unit was 1 Second, not 1 Tick. 2) Split Data Records in Chart Settings

If anyone could post after-hours ticks from TradeStation for 2012-09-06 for IBM then I can post here a comparison with LightSpeed and IQFeed. Why after-hours? Because they are easy to compare because of small number of ticks :) The second question I'm very interested in is EasyLanguage...

Hello John, Thank you very much for your support of my survey! jtc> Yes TradeStation jtc> Offers Free Historical Data for both Technical and Fundamental jtc> Indicators. Could you tell me the depth of history for fundamental indicators, approximately? jtc> Yes, splits will show...

It seems that TradeStation does not give free trial.

I'm too lazy to compare the fees I've got with IB's cost plus from their page, I find it too complicated. Maybe someone can give a practical comparison on their own statements. Is it cheaper then LightSpeed or not?

Hello guys who trade with TradeStation (or use it by any means)! I have a couple of questions the answers on which makes me decide to use TradeStation or not :) 1. I know it provides EPS and other fundamental data. But does it provide historical EPS for backtesting? 2. I know it provides...

it's $500/mo if you don't need a co-location. or FREE for you if your monthly commissions are more then $500

Hello guys. I didn't have an account with other brokers, I trade with LightSpeed only. I like it. But what about commissions - I want to warn/ask you about the following fees except $0.45 for 100 shares: Tran Fee = $0.36 (varies) for Sell side of a trade. Add'l Fees = ~ from $0.2 to $0.3 per...

I agree. Book snapshot data is even 2 times larger, but it can be easily constructed using raw order add, cancel, delete etc messages. That's a good idea. I've checked out IQFeed, but they provide only Times & Sales (without Bid&Ask changes). ESignal is a better alternative, because, as...
