Do you use real-time quotes? Why can't I see real-time prices when I enter a trading signal for my system?

Yes, Collective2 uses real-time quotes to calculate trading system results, but we are not allowed to redistribute the quotes. That is why we do not display them.

So: We use real-time pricing internally to calculate your trade fills (execution prices) and marked-to-market P/L, but we don't have permission to show you real time quotes on a dynamic basis. We assume you have access to your own quotes.
