How often is the Intraday Snapshot data updated?
- During US market hours a snapshot of pricing is taken and available with 35-40 minute delay. All US stocks are available
- You can download several times during a trading day and receive the most recent delayed data snapshot into end of day Charts
- You can also update the Groups/Sectors, Reports, Portfolio Manager and EDS Strategies
- The Intraday Snapshot is particularly useful when downloading in the last hour of trading as you have an opportunity to undertake end of day analysis with the vast majority of the day’s trading data and place trades before the market closes.
- This delayed data on all US stocks can be downloaded and appended to your end of day data files during market hours. The system uses the Market Times (preset to UK equivalent times for US markets) above to determine when a download is considered intraday
- Downloading outside the market hours ensures the closing prices for a day overwrite the intraday. Removing the checkmark is not required to get closing prices.
