tyes, I have been impressed with <FONT
face=Verdana size=3>thinkorswim...in fact, former associate Cottle's free
book 'Coulda...Woulda...Shoudla' (one source: <A
href="">http://www.cashflowheaven.com/freebookoffer.asp)
is one of my favorites on options
And thanks for the info on dtniq...they are cheaper
than Qcharts...
Since my last email in this thread, I ran across a
$14.95/mo options-data source, Screamer, from Money.net(aka PCQuote.com) ;
see:

Amibroker?
thanks

Subject: Re: [amibroker] Qcharts charging
for features
I get all my primary real time Options
pricing and analysis through my broker’s software client, <A
href="">www.thinkorswim.com. I’ve never
seen anything like it for streaming options data, and it’s a great trading
platform. Plus, it’s FREE for having an account with them. It’s
not OptionVue, and you can’t do scans and sorts and so forth, but if you want
to see real time options chains with regional quotes from all exchanges, plot
a risk graph for ANY kind of trade no matter how many legs, see the middle vs.
natural prices on spreads or any other trade, graph your greeks, analyze the
probability of an underlying touching or expiring at a certain point by a
certain date, and much much much more, it simply can’t be beat. Plus
their commissions are really fair if you do very small lots, since they don’t
charge a ticket charge and only charge $2.95/contract if it’s under 10.
Over 10 they charge 1.50.contract and a $10 ticket charge, which is
pretty comparable to other brokers. Not to mention they REALLY
know options and will spend enormous amounts of time on the phone or live chat
with you to help figure out a trade or answer other questions.Didn’t
mean for this to turn into an ad for thinkorswim, but what can I say... Their
software is awesome and so is their service. Oh, it is streaming ONLY
though, so no storing a database locally for analysis in another program.
You can analyze up to 20 days of minute data and unlimited daily data
though.Other than that, I have options data through DTN.iq
(www.dtniq.com) for use in other programs such as Amibroker, and it seems
ok... Definitely does get occasional bad ticks though as it’s a totally raw
unfiltered feed. It’s pretty cheap if you buy a year’s worth up front
and is supported by a number of analysis programs, AmiBroker being one of
them.JonathanOn 12/23/03 7:52 AM, "john gibb"
