NP - where do I get the futures quotes:
RT quotes: (bid,vol@bid, ask,vol@ask,last, open, hig,low) cme.com
This service still is free until Aug 15 when it will be discuntinued. Although free, this is the best quote feed I ever subscribed to. Virtually no latency. Must be because they are housed at the Merc's site. (Only works with IE).
RT quotes and charts: same data as above + last col at sale, time of sles + volumes, bids, asks,...... QChars basic subscription , $80/mo,+temporary CME fee($10/mo). As I said till Aug/Sep. Having used QCharts from the beginning, I find it very difficult to change for another package: until new, they all missed some settings I need.
Backup: cme.com
Data on futures are less used by the general public and therefore datafeeds give them a lesser priority in the broadcasting. This leads to data queues and bursts ranging from seconds to minutes. I have subscribed to many Internet packages, they ALL behave that way, even if you pay the full CME fee of $60/mo.
Respite till next month, when I will have to decide which package(s) I will use. 30 days and counting!
If anyone knows which Internet datafeed is as performant as the Towsend free one of the CME, please tell me. |
