[Beginner] Is there free data feed?

You silly hobbit.

That's not a feed - that's 15-minute-delayed-data-on-demand mechanism.

You won't get a 5 minute delayed anything (feed or data-on-demand) because then real-time royalties are payable.

Good to hear to confirm NO FREE 5-min feed at all.
Probably there is NO feed of 14-min or less.

Each country has different charging policy for feed.
I guess US has strict policy for charging, although some country provides free real-time data.
 
It's not about which country it is, LOL. It's determined by the exchanges which are companies.
I also already showed you that Yahoo has a free real-time stream, did you already forget that? I think you're not suited for trading, you seem to be struggling with the most basic things.

Probably you are talking about R commands mentioned as above.

install.packages("quantmod")
library(quantmod)

getSymbols("MSFT", from ="1990-01-01", to="2014-08-28")
head(MSFT)
tail(MSFT)
 
Of course there is NO free lunch.

Traders in some country seems to receive FREE feed, but most likely they pay for feeding, from hidden commission.

Huh, why are you talking about R? You were so excited about scraping websites with your tool and Yahoo website has the data you want, what's the problem? That Quantmod module for R does not have real-time data to my knowledge.

I agree web-crawling for yahoo website is alternative way to get 15-min data.
I mean R quantmod is another alternative way for 15-min data too, probably simplest among many methods with few(est) lines of commands.

The two method were NOT possible even a few years ago.

Most long-term investor does NOT require even 30-min data. Therefore they do NOT need to pay short-term feed.
Personallly I agree more to the US data charging fee system, rather than COMMON EQUAL charging for the data fee (COMMUNISM) in many countries.

There is NO FREE lunch. / In US, those (short-term traders) eat lunch pay for the lunch.
But in some country, those who does NOT eat sandwich also pay for the sandwich too. (Communism for data feed)

For the 150/M and $1800/Y data feed given above, it may NOT be fair

1) Trader with initial asset of $18K pay 10% for (short-term) data feed
2) Trader with $180K pay 1% for data feed.
3) Trader with $1.8M pay ONLY 0.1% for data feed.

Don't be a stupid sucker like those who spend plenty of useless consumption at the crisis in 2008 and 1929.

Probably you are very young who had no experience for crisis at all.
Happy to hear there are plenty of suckers in stock market.
If there is no sucker around me, then I am a sucker.
