Yahoo real-time - what quality?

I see, their MarketTracket is a trash, veeeery slow, large lags. Even can't find DJIA or S&P500 open price. Can't modify portfolio.

BTW. Why on their website I see quotes started at 9:30, not at 9:50? - it's 20-min. delayed so should started at 9:50.

Any alternative (with trial of course). Dont recommend esignal, because i cant install their software.
 
LiveCharts was great before Esignal took over. Now it has more problems than it is worth. Check the forum E signal has under support. That should give you some idea of the problems folks have each day. I really don't see how Yahoo could be any worse.

Esignal's software require Service Pack 2 for windows XP, I have only SP1 and i can't install SP2 because after installation my computer is non-stop rebooting.


BTW, I am asking again about yahoo's quotes on their website. Why they start quotes at 9:30 :) if it's delayed 20 min?

"BATS Trading Inc. now provides real-time U.S. stock quotes free on Yahoo Finance."
 
OK, so I see I don't need to pay for real-time for S&P 500 or DJIA :)

1. What is accuracy of BATS ECN data to NYSE data?

2. What time interval yahoo shows? 1-min? 1-tick?

3. Does any other services have quotes stream from BATS (except google)? On BATS website I dont see any indices.

Wow, and you thinking of trading on such a computer?
 
Short answer here. Get an account with IB.
Use the charts they provide or download Ib charts off the web. If you want to spend just a few bucks there is Serria charts or Ensign, which work off IB data. The only reason I said Livecharts is a waste of time is they just crash too many times in a day.
There you have it.
