Naveen:

I use Schwab where you can get free delayed quotes, or real time quotes deducted from your quote bank which offer a choice of quick quotes, summary quotes, or detailed quotes. The detailed quotes provide additional information including bid size and ask size which can be helpful when considering a trade.

Frankly, I am not always certain how to read order imbalances. At the close today SEG ask size was 10 to a bid size of 1. Depending on other overnight factors this could portend an open down tomorrow.

I would expect that many of the online brokerages offer the same services, and there are free websites that provide volume information.

Kumar;

I pay for mine at mw.dbc.com. I get real time quotes and bids and asks. Although, I don't always believe what I see. I also see the block sizes which I do consider to be very important. It costs about $35.00 per month but considering my investments it's cheap.
