Live Data For Use in C++?

[gvanto]

Hi guys,

Was wondering if anyone has any insights into the possibility of getting live ASX market data from somewhere, such that it can be accessed by a C++/Java application?

And/or the US market(s) ?

Also if an indication of price can be given, this would be much appreciated.

You wont find what you want addressed on their websites, so you would have to contact the following firms and check with them:

esignal for Australia and the US. ($120US/month+)

DTN for the US (about half the cost of esignal)

Bloomberg & Reuters (but a lot more expensive ... arm and leg stuff)

Check with local firms for AUstralia only:
Paritech
BullSystems

Hope this helps

gvanto,

Interactive Brokers TWS trading platform has an API available in C++, Java, DDE, etc

The API can facilitate live data feed, order routing, automated trading...

It's very flexible and has excellent documentation.

Thanks guys for very helpful replies.

Will check out the providers.

IB's API sounds like it really has potential, thanks Julius.

Good trades to all
