AFAIK (can't keep up with them all)
- JustData and CSI are EOD only.
- eS is the only recommended RT option if you trade more than the US
markets
- IB is also OK for US + NonUS RT (some data limitations but it is
free for account holders)
- QuoteTracker might give some useable, but limited RT choices for
nonUS RT data
- US only traders have a wider range of choices
Re AT options:
I haven't tried it or read Hermans excellent UKB posts (maybe next
year).
>From what I have heard in this forum (I am guessing a bit here).
AT is most useful combined with RT intraday or short term trading,
IB is the only AT choice for AB integration (unless maybe you can
develop your own path via brokers who provide the API).
For US traders there are other AT choices, off the shelf, but not if
you want to use AB.
If you are interested in AT I think joining the AT forum and using IB
is where most of the AB autotraders are.
AFAIK IB requires an actual account to allow you to 'paper trade' in
a realistic way (not a demo account).
(all this and more would be at the AT forum and in Hermans posts).
