Subject: [amibroker] So..What is the best
VALUE intraday feed?
I have been using
QuoteTracker (1 min updates with some 75 symbols) and have never seen any
delays or problems. I also have not run any explorations nor scans but just
have looked at charts over bunches of symbols. However, I abhor the fact
that QT, being fed from my free Fidelity.com data stream, cannot back fill if
it misses even a short time much less a day or more (power outages,
etc). And I have had a bunch of those recently rendering any signals
based on say 5 or 10 days lookback to be worthless. Hence, my
search for something with backfill capabilities.
I have been considering
subscribing to qpFeed, a somewhat new service from QuotesPlus, and then I have
seen these numerous messages about slow delivery of 1 minute data from IQFeed
but several msgs mentioned qpFeed.
So, hence the subject
line....what is the best VALUE for the fastest, most reliable intraday, 1
minute (I don't care about tick data and could probably get by with 5 minute
data) data feed. I would like to have a universe of ETFs (maybe 100 to
125 symbols) and would like to scan for setups and buy/sell signals on 15
minute charts, maybe even 30 minute charts.
qpFeed sounded economical
(good value) but if there are major bottlenecks, then I dunno. TJ says
all intraday feeds slow down, but what do those intrepid day traders
use?
Advice and suggestions,
please. Thanks.
