Richard,
You must be reading my mind.
I was wondering about your
position on RT and Div Adjusted data.
I had a superficial look at
Bourse last week - they appear to be
inward looking - no external
compatibility - I think they have also
dropped option chains which I
thought was their big plus.
Yes, Pulse is operative and with DDE but
there's no price advantage
cf say, ESignal - my thinking is that there's
no point asking Tomasz
to write up a plugin for Aussie RT because it would
only be ESignal
equivalent. Also as you say I suspect there is little
demand (it
appears the majority are happy to push data to AB from their
broker).
Always appreciate your specialist
comments.
