Thanks for the info. I am using QuoteTracker now. Windows only but its real-time using optionsxpress streaming for US markets with almost all the TA/charts I could possibily use. And it only costs US7/mth with subscription and actually free without sub but with ad and some limitations. As for web-based , they are slow and opentick is no longer available.
"However, we are sad to say that the time has come for us to close the doors for opentick. However, this isn't goodbye. In fact, it's a new beginning. We will be introducing a fresh service with all the bells and whistles we've been slaving on over the course of the last year under a new name, a new website and a new level of service. Check back here in the near future for more information about the forthcoming new company and service. Of course amongst all these changes, there are some things that will remain the same - we still aim to provide a reliable free market data service, with an open architecture for a wide range of software platform support."\ -opentick.com Too bad. regards Billy On Mon, May 11, 2009 at 8:26 AM, Anton <[email protected]> wrote: > 2009/5/10 Billy AM <[email protected]>: > > Hi Peeps , > > > > Linux/Ubuntu is not just for geeks but also for making > > serious money in the market.
