merlin8121 Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 I woul like to share my impressions of the new datafeed fo MT. I was trying it yesterday after the signup. My choice was Nyse/Amex/Nasdaq quotes , for 120 symbols (they have several choices up to more than 1200 symbols) Until last week i was using IB quotes. My first impression is QT quotes are much more faster than IB quotes, maybe even faster than IQfeed . Quotes cover all day long of trading (from pre to post market included) and are tick byt tick. I was trying them connecting Trade Ideas with Medvedtrader (with the external link directed to the time and sales of the MT platform). The speed loading charts was fantastic compared with the speed of loading them with IB. Considering the cost (28 usd ) , i think is a must for those who use MT and strongly recommend to try them. The savings comparing with IQfeed are enormous. Plus, once they will activate the lvl 2 feed service and news, with just 15/20 usd the circle will be complete.

slowflyer Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) merlin8121, I couldn't find any info about Quotestream, looked up the datafeed/brokers section. Using IB/IQFeed, and as you mentioned, IQFeed is getting prizy. Any help would be appreciated. PS I did find it in the Settings/Data Sources/Configure Accounts. https://www.medvedtrader.com/www/frontend/datasource Edited August 22, 2018 by slowflyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click the link and it will open a page for sign up, with choices and price. If you as me was using IB and IQfeed in the past, you will certainly enjoy with Quotestream pricing and quality.

ehjump Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the heads up. Any idea if / when they'd add Level II & data from other exchanges, IPE to be exact? Edited August 24, 2018 by ehjump added LII Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin8121 Posted August 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) No idea for the exchanges As for the lvl 2, Jerry said is an administrative issue. Dont know more. But once lvl2 will be active, Nyse,Nasdaq,Amex with lvl 2 should cost about 48 usd only for 120 symbols (you can choice how many symbols you want). Just for comparison, IQfeed cost with lvl 2 about 140 usd (for 500 symbols yes, but who needs so many symbols in portfolio?)

slowflyer Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Signed up with QuoteMedia QuoteStream for a year (pay for 10 months, 2 months free). Fast backfill on intra-day and historical charts. Impressed also with the price, 1/3 of what I've been paying IQFeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowflyer Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 Hi merlin8121, sorry it took me so long to reply, but I had a billing error with QS, they only charged me for a month, not the full year. That issue is now solved, and they charged me $272.14 for the full year, 2 months free. The option to pay for a full year appeared when I initially signed up with QS, an awesome savings over IQfeed. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin8121 Posted March 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 Currently testing the scanner with the 1200 symbols subscription. The results are fantastic. I made some videos (without sound) to show the scanner running. Considering the cost (with about 25% discount applied for the datafeed) , its even better than Trade Ideas in some ways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin8121 Posted April 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) No more discounts applied. Now they charge the full price. 123usd for 1200 symbols with nasdaq, amex and nyse. At this price is not feasible to use as a scan with a big datafeed, compared to Trade Ideas (about 80 /month , or tc2000 from 45usd). I think a feature similar to Ninjatrader market scan to filter gainers/losers , unusual volu etc is needed asap. With a feature like this , a 300 symbol datafeed should be enough to handle the entire market. Edited April 2, 2019 by merlin8121 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NH11 Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Hi, currently trialling IQFeed. The data of course is quality and backfills are fast but it is pricey (well over $100pm). How is Quotestream? Is it a good alternative you think? Thx in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowflyer Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 I'm in my 2nd year of using Quotestream, used IQFeed before. No complaint whatsoever with Quotestream, very reasonably priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stockjo Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Been using IQFeed with QuoteTrader for as long as I can remember. Payed for 88USD/month for IQFeed (Reduced price for QuoteTrader users) . Recently switched to MedVedTrader. Now considering switching to QuoteStreamConnect. Need some help: 1) Which US data subscriptions do I need to trade US stocks and monitor ETFs? Obviously NASDAQ Level 1 Equities Real-Time and NYSE Level 1 Equities Real-Time What is in the the other choices that most of us stock and ETF traders really need? NYSE American Level 1 Equities Real-Time 1.00 CSMI Indexes (MDX) Real-Time 2.60 CME S&P Base Indices (S&P 500/100 Only) Real-Time 3.00 CME S&P Complete Indices Real-Time 4.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 NYSE American - that is Amex. so if you trade or need quotes on amex stocks, you would need that. The others are for various real-time index quotes. Unfortunately, exchanges are charging a lot for just getting real-time index data. that is what you are seeing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
