Live XJO data?

[Trade wind]

Wondering if anyone knows of the best cheap (free even?) streaming real-time data for the ASX200, preferably with charting or even better a DDE interface so I can load it straight into my charting software.

The best solution I can find is webIress data through a CFD provider, for around $38 per month for the data and $40 for the software, but at this stage I only want the xjo not the whole market.

No need to pay for realtime streaming xjo data. Got it for free. Found the answer on another stock forum.

Hi Trade wind, Do you mind sharing who with?

Hi lenny, Quotetracker is the answer. Delivery times depend on your broker. A regular Commsec account has slower refresh rates and delays up to around 5 secs, but other brokers are comparable with commercial data feeds, plus or minus 1-2 seconds. If you track a lot of stocks it slows the feed, but for just the XJO or a couple of stocks, it's great, feeds into Amibroker and it's free!

Of course you know that the XJO isn't a streaming quote. Its a live snap shot every 30 secs, calculated by ASX.

Sign up for ig markets free trail and you can get their ASX200 cash prices which is very close to xjo, except during opening auction periods (at which time the xjo is meaningness anyway).

And when the 2 weeks free trial is up... just sign up again

Yeah, I know. But commercial data suppliers like Bourse Data deliver the same 30 sec snapshots. I notice the SPI often jumps the gun on XJO snaps by 10-15 secs, but how do you get streaming XJO data? Set up your own index watchlist or will some brokers/data providers do it for you?

I've got an IG markets account but while their ASX200 is close to the real thing, it's still doctored market maker data. It tends to even out the spikes, even after the open.

XJO more often than no follows SPI.

In IRESS, you can use XJODFS - which is IRESS's calculated value of the index, updates as the consituents update.

Thanks for that, I wondered how it worked. I'm playing with SPI CFDs small-time trying to get the feel, so I want accurate XJO data but don't really want to pay inflated data rates just yet.

I know I'll have to cough up if I trade seriously, but is it just me, or are we getting ripped off for data here in Australia? Seems you can get streaming data free or close to it in many parts of the world, but the ASX is raking it in with its fees, not to mention some of the onsellers. From what I can make out, IRESS seems the best value, unless you really step up to the plate and open an Interactive Brokers account.
