size=2>Jim,
I use
esignal as my RT feed. I collect 5 minute bars. My buy/sell decisions are made
based on longer term signals but my entry and exits are based using the shorter
term. While I can view these 5 min bars as daily bars 60 days or even 120 days
is often simply not enough data to make sound decisions regarding trend etc. QP
offers a whole range of fundamental data. Thanks to getexrtadata() functions
that Tomasz has given us I am able to trim thousands of stocks down to a more
manageable universe of what I consider to be tradable stocks. A lot of my work
involves sector analysis. I create composite indexes of stocks based on the
sectors they belong to. When creating these indexes I use this fundamental data.
Esignal starts to get grumpy when I try to gather info on more than 50 stocks at
a time. QP has no problems allowing me to scan hundreds of stocks to make these
composites. QP does a great job identifying the sector and industry group that
each stock belongs to and that is invaluable to me. The combination of the 2
offers me clean,reliable service. Monitor this board for a while and you will
see many posts regarding the free the service offered by yahoo and msn. I simply
cannot afford to use the free data....
Regards,
Jayson
