I see. We do not currently support those, though do plan to add E*Trade (waiting forever for them to get us needed API for streaming market data).  

 

for now you can use either delayed quotes from Yahoo, or get a subscription datafeed to use with MT from:

IQFeed: http://www.iqfeed.net
Money.net: http://www.money.net
Stockwatch: http://www.stockwatch.com/User/Subscribe.aspx

I'm sadly surprised. I was certain you had at least two of those popular firms.

 

I guess for now I'll continue to use QT (I use a relative's sign in credentials-with permission- with Ameritrade) and those firms' proprietary software when needed.

 

Hope you get at least one of those firms soon.

 

Thanks

Schwab - maybe will change once they finish the integration with optionsXpress. Who knows.  For now no go. 

 

Scottrade - never cooperated (same with QT) 

 

E*Trade - we can configure trading, but not data.  We kind of wanted to get the data before spending the time on it.

Thanks.

 

I was just looking at the list in QT, it's so much longer.

 

I thought I remembered that I had at one time used Scottrade with QT and sure enough it is on the list. They must have cooperated at that time, maybe they would again.

 

E*Trade and Schwab are there too, although I never used Schwab because it was never streaming.

 

I noticed Google is on your list. Google, on the web, shows real time quotes but not the bid ask, what does it show in MT? 

 

I'm going to change the title of this thread, to make it interesting to others

 

By the way, I suggest pinning the list somewhere so that people know in advance whether MT would work with their source.

We had a lot longer to implement stuff in QT (12 years) and a lot of the sites were just snapshot quotes. 

 

Scottrade never cooperated. We reverse engineered their datafeed back when we were with QT.  Then at some point they changed protocols. QT doesn't work with Scottrade either. 

 

E*Trade - yes, that was reverse engineered too. Now though they have an API so really don't want to have to kludge it when they are supposed to get us the API.  but it has been an extremely long wait :(

 

Schwab - just snapshot quotes, so not really worth it at this time

 

Google - real-time quotes only have limited data - not enough for what MT needs.

Jerry, I messaged with you about a month ago regarding support for Tradestation.  I'm using the  MT beta along with the free trial at Moneynet.  Love the new MT.  Any luck with

tradestation?  Don't like the idea of paying twice for the same data.  Thanks in advance
