Streaming Quotes Now Available Through Zecco Trading

Hopefully you've notice a number of new tools and features introduced over the past couple months. We’ve added many new community features  including activity feeds and performance tracking tools. One thing we’ve heard requests for time and time again is streaming quotes. So we’re very happy to announce that users can now access a new streaming quotes application in the Zecco Trading Center.

Quotestream II is Quotemedia’s award-winning tool that delivers real-time or delayed market information in an easy-to-use and highly configurable interface. You can track your investments and access research data with ease.



Some of the key features of Quotestream II include:
  • Streaming Portfolios – Create up to 10 portfolios/52 symbols per portfolio
  • Streaming Option Chains – Near term, leaps, calls or puts, in-the-money or out–of–the–money

  • News and Headlines – Streaming market and company–specific news from many of the industry leading content providers
  • Market Movers – View streaming dollar and percent gainers/losers in addition to most actives
  • Time and Sales – See what trades are happening, and when
  • User Configurable Layouts and Screen Displays – Customize column fields, background colors, alerts, and more

QUOTEGRID

$20/month is expensive for new traders. Particularly when you promote $0 trades.

csco said:

Yep...I agree with FD10.  Maybe a reduced rate or free for a certain number of trades a month?

faimast said:

I agree too. Its on the high side for a monthly fee especially for the long term investors and the newbies.

Hopefully the amazing team at Zecco can configure a creative and cost-effective solution.

Thanks.

Newbies should expect to pay a little for the useful tools of the trade (the internet is FULL of free advice); long-termers shouldn't be worried about what is happening right this moment, pick a strategy and stick with it.

Think about it... If having this tool helps you make hundreds per month, then why are you crying about the tens that it costs you? If it isn't useful, then don't use it.

I believe the Streamingn Quote platform should be free if an account averages 20 trades per month.

I just checked out the software platform offered by thinkorswim.com. Not realtime but tons  of features and the price can't be beat -- FREE!

It's free trading! The great folks at Zecco shouldn't be expected to give everything to the esurient! Or should they? I heard Yahoo has free streaming in their finacial section but don't know how accurate it is.

I have a regular IRA account with Scottrade and they offer a free real-time streamer where you can create a lot more portfolios/watch list ( i think I have 25 already and counting) with a max of 20 symbols per portfolio.  I don't see the advantage of this unless it's free.  Does the QuoteGrid provide you a real-time portfolio tracker where you can see your stock holdings and equity (including profit/loss values) change in real time? If I were you, save the $120/year and open an account with Scottrade with an initial $500 which you don't have to maintain (once it's set, withdraw the money and leave $1).  Then you get a free real-time streamer.  Scottrade offers the following at ZERO cost:

Annual account maintenance -No charge
Inactive account -No charge
Transfer out/account closing -No charge
IRA termination -No charge
Online confirmations and statements -No charge
Dow Jones Real-Time News -No charge
Real-time streaming quotes and charts -No charge
Cost basis accounting -No charge
Incoming/Outgoing Direct Registration System -No charge
Direct Withdrawal at Custodian -No charge

Now if Zecco offers the above features, then their Streamer may be worth it but since they've taken away 30 free trades from us and raised the minimum required to get free trades plus charging us $30 annually in our IRA to keep our money so they can use it and make money, they shouldn't be charging their customers for this.  At the very least, it (and the GainsKeeper for that matter) should be free for the first 5 days every month or if you meet a minimum equity (say $5000).  If Zecco keeps charging for all their services, why even call it zero commission costs? If they want to be the cheapest broker out there, they should at least meet or beat their competitor's prices or at least offer these features for free but with certain conditions, i.e equity requirement, trade requirement, account requirement (must have both regular and IRA account to qualify), etc.  If they do this, it's guaranteed that they will have more customers.

Correction...Zecco streamer costs $240 per year.  Why pay this when you can get it free somewhere else?

If you keep a certain minimum balance requirement, the streaming
quotes should be free. I have another account with Just2Trade and
with $2500 minimum you get free streaming quotes and free Level 2.
Deals are out there if you look for them.

Why would you want me to leave your site to get other services when I'm already here? I know you have to make money somewhere but, you've got a captive audience.
Attention spans are extremely short, why tempt someone to view another's free service and chance getting lured away by an all-in-one service?
That's just penny-wise and pound foolish.
