Questrade Level 2

[makincash]

Any chance you are going to support Data from Questrade for Level 2?  If I connect with MedVed to Questrade for data I get cut off of the data feed in the Questrade IQ edge platform but there is no Level 2 in MedVed from the Questrade feed.  I would like to try MedVed but without Level 2 available in MedVed or being able to keep Wuestrade open for level 2 I can't.  It's a bit strange that if MedVed accesses the Questrade data feed it cuts off Questrades IQedge.   I tried Motivewave which also has an api integration with Questrade but this doesn't happen with it.

2nd question is there any plan to be able to load Qeustrade's watch lists automatically into MedVed and potentially keep them in sync between the two?

Thank you,

Jeff

We've been asking Questrade to add support for Level II data via their API since day 1. If they add it, we would be glad to implement it. 

We do not do anything special that would knock you off other platforms using their data.  They are the ones doing it. MW may be using their own datafeed or something else.

As for synced watchlists, no.

Thanks for the info. I just checked their API and it does actually say if you stream Level 1 through it your data feed will halt in any of their IQ platforms.

Is there another way to receive the L2? Possibly through another brokerage? I see that ARCA Snapshot provides level 2 data. Is this real-time?

I'm using Stockwatch (subscriptions service) for all my data now instead of Questrade, been working well in Medved.

ARCA is real-time but it is only showing ARCA orders, not those on other ECNs or Market Makers. 

We would be glad to do Level II for Questrade if they would add that to their API. We've been asking for it for years. 

Your best bet is Stockwatch for that right now.
