stock777 Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 I see the CNBC news feed allows a lot of subscribed tickers. (i have 4000), since There are very few actual headlines, but a constant 50-100k /sec bandwith usage. much higher than ameritrade is this normal ?? Do i need to subscribe to all those tickers for CNBC feed , or not ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stock777 Posted November 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) Cut off the subs to only a few open portfolios , 60 symbols On relog , theres a blast of data, then drops to zero With the high sub count , stream of data is constant. Do you have to continuously poll these guys ? Edited November 11, 2020 by stock777 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 it polls at less than 1 symbol per second. multiply that by number of symbols, then repeat based on the frequency you specified. Each page can be around 150K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stock777 Posted November 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 yeah, a lot of overhead for that feed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 yes, streaming data such as TD Ameritrade, is drastically more efficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex_hacker202 Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Streaming news from TDA a problem again - when I fired up MT this morning got a warning "TDA streaming news not available, contact them and subscribe for news" - after talking to their tech rep, problem is that they no longer have or require a subscription for streaming news (only L2), said if I can get real time quotes I should be getting TDA news. I think Benzinga news is from TDA - just checked, yes, when I click on a Benzinga news link a browser tab opens titled "AMTD: Benzinga", URL is "file:///C:/Users/My Name/AppData/Local/2GK/Medved Trader/Temp" - so it looks like I'm getting TDA news but MT isn't aware of it, at least when you start it up.

Jerry Medved Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Yes, they don't require it, but the API still does. The requirement was supposed to be removed in an update by end of October. I will check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
