I have been using Quotetracker with Ameritrade Snapshot quotes to
update realtime around 4000 stocks but it really slows down my PC. The
creators of Quotetracker admit that Quotetracker was not built for
processing that many symbols:
http://boards.quotetracker.com/board/showflat.php?
Cat=0&Number=44670&an=0&page=0#44670
But i just realized today that i could get a realtime snapshot update
of my 4000 stock Amibroker database through Amiquote's Yahoo/"Current"
feature which does the job in seconds as opposed to Quotetracker's 1.5
minutes of tying up my PC. Ill have to get the Yahoo realtime
subscription for $10/month though...but its much more efficient than
going though Quotetracker. What do you all think, is there a better
way to get realtime snapshot update of a large AB database?
