getQuote real time

[zubin-2]

Hello,

Testing real time getQuote options, does not look like yahoo is
providing real time quotes via this method call? anyone know of a  
workaround? Ask (RT) and Bid (RT) are the same as the delayed quotes.


library(quantmod)
getQuote("FAS;XLF;XLE",what=yahooQF(c("Open","Bid","Ask","Last Trade
(Price Only)","Volume","Ask (Real-time)", "Bid (Real-time)")))

             Trade Time  Open   Bid   Ask  Last   Volume Ask (RT) Bid (RT)
FAS 2009-10-27 03:03:00 77.90 77.04 77.09 77.04 26999444    77.09    77.04
XLF 2009-10-27 03:03:00 14.72 14.66 14.67 14.66 79448224    14.67    14.66
XLE 2009-10-27 03:03:00 57.48 58.11 58.12 58.11 19884684    58.12    58.11

Yes.  Pay for a data feed (see RBloomberg), or get data from your broker
(see the IBrokers package, for eample)

You aren't going to get any non-delayed real-time data for free.

This topic has been discussed multiple times on this list.
