Jon, I'm a QFeed developer. Currently I'm developing, "Stock Scanner" - a custom app that scan's stocks in real-time for momentum indicators (certain price and volume changes). While I can't compare it against TAL's API, I like it very much. Once you learn the basics of the retrieving data, it's a snap. (Well, for a developer anyway.) All communication, and data caching and management is handled by the Continuum Client and it's functions. I just call the functions. You can use VB or C++. The supply MFC libraries for C++ developers and OCX's for VB developers(me). They also have some simple, example apps in both languages for all major functions. It took me about four hours to figure out how to work with the OCX's and start pulling data. The only significant downside is that I can't feed the data into QCharts. They haven't exposed the API on QCharts yet. Hope this helps. Regards, Dan.
