I am so disappointed that they are going to shut down QQL. I've tried the following data services, and I left each one for the following reasons:
1. QCharts--unreliable data feed. And you can't open multiple windows. On top of that, their Time and Sales is difficult to read: their bid and ask prices aren't posted side by side--unlike QQL.
2. eSignals--interface far more complicated than QQL. QQL has drop down menus which allow you to quickly switch between timeframes--5 minute charts, hourly charts, weekly charts, etc. eSignal is so cumbersome.
3. WindowsonWallStreet--forget their candlestick charts. They are out of format.
Although QQL lacks indexes and futures data, it's an extremely well-designed platform. It's so user friendly: everything is so conveniently accessible.
I don't know who else to turn to except paying $200+ for Realtick or something, which is way overpriced.
