All quotes delayed by at least 20 minutes. What does this mean?
Collective2.eu follows the data-licensing policy of the various exchanges we support. This means that we do not display real-time data to you. (We use real-time data internally to calculate strategy results, however.)
- If you are a strategy developer here on C2.eu, we generally assume you will have your own access to whatever data you need to make trading decisions.
- If you are a strategy follower here on C2, we generally assume you will not require real-time data, or that you will use the data supplied by your broker.
Again, when we display data, we show delayed quotes. Internally we use real-time data to fill the model account and to determine when stops are limits are filled.
