Tomasz,
Yea OK, tracking all stocks is far more than I want, but tracking 200
or so for alerts would be fine. I have an ADSL connection of 512
kbit/s downstream and 128 kbit/s upstream (theoretical max.), do you
think 200 tickers would be too much for that bandwidth with QCarts?
I know you can switch stocks as much as you want with eSignal, but
when tracking for alerts, you are limited to 50 stocks.
Well, you could constantly keep changing portfolios of course, but
that doesn't seem very practical. Though I might consider that too,
of course.
And as a trader, I'm still in my "learning zone", so I don't want to
spend too much on my data...
I've always used QTracker using cheap data sources. Was good enough
for me.
Anyway my scans are still in (final) test phase, so I still have some
time to see what's best for me as a datafeed.
Regards,
Ralph
