Colin,
Attached below is a recent statement from Bob Brickey, TradeLab
developer, regarding TradeLab and internet data feeds. I'm not sure
what the timing of that capability will be, but it will follow the
issuance of TradeLab version 2.0, which will add backtesting and
optimization.
Remember that people who license TradeLab version 1.0 now will receive
the higher priced version 2.0 at no additional cost.

------------------------------------------------------
TradeLab Version 1.0 obtains real-time data via an API (Application
Program
Interface) to MarketStream's UMDS Version 2.02. UMDS Version 2.02
does not
support Internet data-feeds. UMDS Version 3.0 will, but it hasn't
been
released yet and I am not sure of the Internet data-feeds it will
support.
I think MarketStream's current delivery estimate is February, 2001.
Regardless of when UMDS Version 3.0 is released, we plan to add
direct
Internet data-feed interfacing to the TLData time series database
management
system component of the TradeLab package. Some work on that already
has
been done. The current version of TLData already has direct
Internet
communication capability. All that is needed is data packet
decoders for
supported data-feeds. Work on that will start after release of
TradeLab
Version 2.0.
A decision hasn't been made yet about which Internet data-feeds to
support
directly in TLData. That will depend in part on the timing of the
UMDS 3.0
release and upon the Internet data-feeds it supports.
