The most cheapest data feed !!

j_medved · Feb 17, 2003

It is exactly the same datafeed. The pricing is special for QuoteTracker users. I do believe you have to have the full priced version if you want to use other software. (I guess their API checks). I know that QT is able to connect to the full priced IQFeed subscription datafeed. Its only going the other way that may be a problem

any comments form the users as to which would be better and more reliable feed: $20 for IQ or $13 for money.net?

Both are tick by tick.

Quote from IndexTrader:
Is the feed symbology *exactly* the same meaning its just a marketing trick or are there problems encountered if you sign up for 1 program and use another instead?

All I can say is that I had no problems running the Metaserver demo with the QT's $20/mo IQFeed.

dis,

were you getting your data into metaserver thru excel first or directly from IQFeed into metaserver?

IQFeed-->Excel-->MetaServerRT??
IQFeed-->MetaServerRT??

Thanks!

Azzie,

There are differences in what you can do with them:
* IQFeed is max 500 symbols. Money.net is max 80
* IQFeed has backfill data included
* IQFeed supports more exchanges (futures, eminis, etc). Money.net supports SSFs

ilx-at? anyone use this? i know it's pretty expensive, but how does it compare to the other data feeds?

IndexTrader, I though I might be able to use IQFeed + Metaserver + Metastock Pro for intraday charting. It did not work very well because Metaserver lacked support for backfill.

Where can I find a list of indicators that quotetracker offers? Does QT offer Commodity Channel Index?

j_medved · Feb 22, 2003

On the intraday charts, we have the following

I am pretty sure that list is complete. there may be one or two others. Will be adding others soon.

Historical Charts have more. Best thing to do is download and look - the list is different on the Prophet Historical Charts and BigCharts within QT

The least cost software/real time data I have found is QT with Money.net-Software is free (if you don't mind one small ad line) and Money.net for QT is $15/mo. I use it for basic alarming...which works great. Their charts are OK, but it is not capable of taking your strategy formulae and generating buy/sell signals.

They were the only outfit that could also support all the regular NYSE stocks I trade as well as allow price alerts on some of the less traveled Preferreds that I park money in for income. (Schwab's website wouldn't allow Preferred alerts...not that they would do anygood anyhow since their alerts drive off delayed data-(Website....not Streetsmart).
