I have been looking at (trialing) Norgate
recently.
Reuters poor sector set up sent me
looking.
Norgate have a great custom folders approach for
sector work.
My only knock on them is they do not cover the
Canadian market.

Jose,
I know data vendors are more or less at the
mercy of the data feeds they get
from the exchanges. But only on the
initial broadcast of that data to their
subscribers. After that, it
is up to them to make any adjustments or
corrections. It is not
particularly difficult to ferret out most of the
errors and needed
adjustments. The very best we can hope for is a data
vendor to be
responsive when their subscribers find an error and report it.
I know that
you and a number of other forum "gurus" speak highly
of
PremiumData.
No doubt, I will soon bite the bullet and change
from Reuters to Norgate
(PremiumData). With a service that used to
have such a high quality
reputation (Reuters), its hard to believe that
could ever be necessary. AND
they make you pay a premium price for
it.
Best,
Larry Carhartt

Larry, I use http://www.premiumdata.net for my data,
and on the very
rare occasion that I find an anomaly with the data, it
usually gets
fixed within minutes of my email to PremiumData
support.
> is there any data provider cheaper than
reuters?
The cheapest data source is the one that will cost you the
least in
bad trades due to data errors. ;)
