I am looking for a cheap data feed provider for MC for US stocks
Up to now I always had IQ Feed but now they cost over 130$ just US stocks
What do you use and how much do the data cost?
Thanks for your help

Re: Daten Feed
Do you need real-time feed?
Most stock traders use EOD data.
How about delayed data (5 or 15 min delay)? They are cheaper.

Ok understand @TJ but therefore such an expensive software, what do you use for data ?

Re: Daten Feed
Interactive Brokers has a cheap feed, but only good for light users because it is a broker, not a read dataprovider.

You can pay extra to get more data.
How many symbols do you follow?
How often do you retrieve the data?
Make sure you have saved the data to your harddisk before you shut down the computer. Otherwise, MC will need to re-download the data the next day, and that causes "Pacing Error".

Re: Daten Feed
have you tried the booster before
I follow about 50 symbols simultaneously,
I'd like to spend $80 a month, you know what I mean?
