Streaming, Real-Time Data
Our direct quote technology delivers quotes via
proprietary lines - a distinct advantage over competitors
who get their quotes from third-party providers.
Direct quotes offer our traders superior speed and
reliability.

Real-time quotes from other firms may be subject to extra
system delays. These firms purchase their quotes from a third-party
provider while our quotes are delivered directly from the ECN
or the Exchange. For professional traders, a delay of few extra
seconds can make the fundamental difference between a profit
and a loss.
Unlimited Data
Unlike traditional data services, we do not put any limitations
on the number of symbols that you can use. That means you'll
see every chart or trade updated on your screen in real time
- without having to refresh your screen.
Data Compression
One of our significant advantages is the streaming delivery
of data to your workstation via the Internet. All quote and
trade data is compressed down to a level that is easily accepted
over relatively low bandwidth communication lines. The software
only grabs quotes when it actually needs to complete the task
at hand. For example, once your machine has accessed a particular
symbol for level II or charting, it is constantly recording
and storing that data in case you decide to access that symbol
again. This data compression saves a tremendous amount of bandwidth
needed to change stock symbols as well as providing the trader
with immediate access to the most commonly used symbols.
