I use Ameritrade streaming datafeed for Quotetracker and Ninjatrader. I’ve seen better reliability and speed but the free price for real-time prices can’t be beat via $2k account with Ameritrade.

Tech support is poor so don’t expect much. Feed was down most of this morning but didn’t get notified they were having problems until late in the afternoon. As of this evening, feed is still shaky at best.

I just wish they hadn’t taken over Quotetracker . . don’t see much improvements in that program as Ameritrade will probably push their own subscription platforms . . which are inferior.

I like the new streaming quotes platform that is now included, since they have acquired think or swim.

But they are still expensive… although if you call them up they will match Scottrades $7 trades most of the time.

Ameritrade(bought our accounts from Waterhouse) is proving to be a fee stealer, a fee disguiser, and unresponsive to email complaints. They have yet to respond to 3 seperate emails which were sent 2 days ago and yesterday.

Their web presentation is unreadable, and signins often fail.

TD Ameritrade lost my business today… platform was down during this morning when I was trying to make some trades, while I was able to make trades in my Scottrade account.
