| According to WSJ on this article, NYSE will provide free real time quote as early as March. Soon we will have realtime trading here at eInvesting, I guess. |

NYSE is only one of several exchanges.  And unless they provide an API to get quotes it doesn't help. There are free real-time quote systems out there, but they don't allow remote queries. |

Well, I can't say I understand what all that means, but where are the free real-time quotes? I thought they were extinct...  |

Sorry, to explain further...
Yahoo's quote server allows me to write code to obtain quote values rather than visiting a page and reading it. And it allows me to get quotes "in bulk" rather than doing it one at a time. Any site that offers free real-time quotes that we can use for the sim here would have to offer the same type of interface.
API = Application Program Interface, meaning an interface that you can interact with via a program rather than something used by a real live human instead.
As far as free real-time quotes becoming extinct? I had not heard that. I've been out of things for a while, so if there was some rule change that sites could not offer real-time quotes for free anymore I am not aware of it. I know etrade used to offer it, but only for one stock at a time. Maybe they don't anymore.
It's not available right now (as I type this) but of course the markets are closed. |

I believe a few months ago the exchanges raised the price of quotes, which caused lots of places that once offered them "one stock at a time" to have to drop that outright. I know Yahoo Finance and AOL used to have RTQ available, but not anymore...
This whole "free" thing could change that though. |

| I didn't know that, interesting. Thanks. I suspect that etrade still offers real-time quotes, at least for members. But I think that they used to offer them on the main quote page even if you weren't logged in. I will have to check tomorrow. |
