There are several "Quote.com" feeds. I am/was a beta tester for their
QCharts product, which I have found to be highly reliable. There is
also Fast Charts, which was somewhat slower and less reliable when I
was using that. There are also two (yes, TWO) different charting
"services" from their Web site. One, for which I pay, won't do a whole
day of 1-minute ticks; the free one does it just fine.
Quote.com also has a "raw" feed, around which you can build your own
stock data collection system. I believe it is called "QFeed" and is what
drives the QCharts package.
I am not using Omega software of any ilk. When QCharts stops working
(bad ISP, loss of Internet connections, whatever) I simply quit trading
--- that's how important real-time charting has become to my trading
decisions.
For a couple of years, I've been using Interquote for my 15-minute
portfolio (OEX, NDX, DOW) price/volume snapshots. They have recurring
problems (at least until a month ago when I stopped intra-day trading)
with Open prices being 0 or blank. Their upstream feed, however, is
different from QChart's and thus provides some redundancy. I CAN set up
QCharts for the same portfolio snapshot capability, but that runs on
a PC and I trade via a Mac.
Summary: "Quote.com" covers a number of different data feeds and charting
capabilities. Your mileage may vary.
