I'm trying to find a realtime market data provider at a reasonable price to integrate my own software. I'm aware of IB but they require me to have an account that always have some funding in it.

I thought QuoteCenter looks promising. I would like to get the data for all US markets frequently (every few minutes).


Does QuoteCenter provides an API that I can reach the quotes or news from a third party application? If it doesn't, does Metastock Development Kit has similar functionality for real-time market data? I don't mind writing my own hooks that runs within MDK space to export the data to my own software.


Is it possible to get realtime quotes for all stocks in NYSE,AMEX and NASDAQ from QuoteCenter every few minutes? Typically similar products restrict the number of quotes to a limited watch list.


Thanks a lot.
