Any users of Yahoo MarketTracker

[Perrington]

Hello,

As Iam new to trading I would like a basic package for realtime market data.

I would like to know if anyone here either is using or has used Yahoo's MarketTracker, and what were your impressions.

Does it provide FOREX in realtime ? and does the data update every few seconds ?

For £6.99 it seems a reasonable place to start up with, any experiances will be appreciated.

Hi Perrington,

I have used it in the past as a cheap way of getting real time FTSE/DAX indexes but the charting is useless.

I now use QuoteTracker (free with ads or $60/yr) and IQFeed for US ($20/mo), and MoneyAM for UK (£20/mo incl FTSE index)

If you want forex open a CMC account, CMC's price data is probably all you need if you're getting started. IQFeed do a forex add on for $25/mo.

HTH,
Pete.
