Data Feeds: Alternative Feeds to Interactive Brokers (IB)

Data Feeds: Alternative Feeds to Interactive Brokers (IB)

PTF PRO calls trade signals onscreen and by email, so you can trade them as they arise through any broker you choose. Our client uses a very wide variety of brokers. You can only semi-autotrade them through IB however.

If you don't use IB for data, you have two other feeds available:

1. Yahoo Finance free feed: delayed intraday data 5-15 minutes, depending on the exchange and instrument, and 10 years free historic data. Most clients find this feed is adequate for our trading system as we are undertaking multi-day swing trades and second-by-second price monitoring and execution are not critical

2. IQFeed: this is an expensive third party subscription but provides high quality real-time and historic data on USA/TSX/LSE stocks, futures, options and FX. Most professional clients use this feed or IB.
