Judy, the SDK gives you access to streaming data, snap quote data, and hot list data. How you display and process the data is entirely up to you... the C++ class lib is very nice. Can't comment on the VB stuff... Sean

Judy, regarding "...writing your own quote sheets...", the answer is no. The developers kit is both more and less powerful than that. The downside is that the applications that you create cannot be connected to QCharts. Frankly, I would love to create various apps to plug into QCharts. But, you can't (currently). I've lobbied Gibbons on this issue. So far, no commitment. The upside is that the applications that you can create plug directly into the QFeed data. I.e., you are not dependent on QCharts. Most people are using C/C++ or VB. Personally, I'm using VB to create an application that scans stocks for momentum plays using price and volume data. Since it is a program, I can write almost any type of scanning algorithm. QFeed provides time and sales data, Snapshot data and HotList data. I'm still implementing the infrastructure using time and sales data, but I expect to use Snapshots for detailed company data (65 day Avg Volume) and hot-lists as a source for "Hot Stocks". Hope this helps. Regards, Dan.
