paul... "online quotes" i get them at order entry through wsa...gives me bid/ask, last trade/time, number of contracts, exchange, etc...bid and ask constantly updates (not streaming)upon demand. can watch option price change in relation to bid and ask on common. after order entry they have an order review screen which you can edit at any time, gives status of order, and if filled all the details, included time filled and on what exchange... wsa website not very glamorous, no banners, ads, just plain old black and white verbage....if ya like pixtures, this ain't the place! wsa offers no streaming quotes, they will rebate active traders e-signal monthly subscription. i opened a small dlj account just for the streaming quotes, someday i'll subscribe to dbc or e-signal...need time to get more "sophisticated"

Paul, I use esignal for quotes. Get streaming equities and options. I believe it is about as good as you can get as an individual in a residence (delay is minimal). Not bad for $1500 a year, especially when my broker foots the bill. I don't think there are much better services unless you want to pay several thousand dollars a month. When I look at quotes, it is the same price as that which my broker sees. I have the real-time option quotes fed into my option program for real-time analysis. Doesn't always help, but doesn't usually hurt.
