<br>> A good choice for RT data (mostly free with an account) integrated
<br>> into a trading platform is Interactive Brokers - they have supported
<br>> APIs for Excel, Java, and C# - in addition there are many _unofficial_
<br>> APIs implementing some or all of the functionality.
<br>>
<br>> www.interactivebrokers.com
<br>>
<br>> More info here:
<br>>
<br>> http://www.chuckcaplan.com/twsapi/
<br>>
<br>> There is an R API in the works called IBrokers that is being sorted
<br>> out. Current plans are for only historic data integration into R.
<br>> You can look at the code here: http://code.google.com/p/ibrokers/ It
<br>> is not very reliable at present - my time commitment to it has been
<br>> sidetracked recently - but it is being actively pursued.
<br>>
<br>> For full API integration Java or Python via IbPy (
<br>> http://code.google.com/p/ibpy/ )would be the way to go
<br>>
<br>> You might also want to look at www.opentick.com for data. A lot of it
<br>> is free, though some exchange fees apply. The biggest caveat to
<br>> opentick (besides questionable data) is the user agreement... read
<br>> carefully.
