Hey Gang,
I'm experiencing a 15 minute delay on streaming data for 5min bar ETFs (SOXL, TQQQ, etc.) using the IQFeed data provider. I read through the recent post for a similar 15-min delay problem for 1 hr bars, but this seems to be different, or so I think.

Is this normal? Are there best practices to ensure that IQFeeds provides real-time streaming?

Thanks!
Ben.

Hi Ben,

As per post #10 by RichJSails here,

2) Streaming Data is delayed 15 minutes unless you add "Level 1 Data" for NASDAQ and NYSE (each are $7/month). You also have to complete and submit the NASDAQ and NYSE "Non Professional Trader" documentation.

Is this the case?

Thanks for forwarding that link, Eugene. I hadn't seen that one and was referencing a different thread. While I'm not excited to pay an additional $7-14 on top of the $100/mo, this at least confirms that my settings are fine, which addresses that question too. Thank you!
Ben.

You're welcome, Ben. We need to expand our coverage of intraday real-time providers and it will certainly become a future task. But check out this one below, it's a featured Alphavantage partner. For $99 it also has delayed data and streaming intraday charts start at $199!
