Hello there, I'm resurrecting this thread to ask for some advice regarding brokers for stock trading. I'm from Asia, and have my own "local" brokers who allow the trading of US shares - but that's not what I really want to do. I'm just interested in watching price and trade data for now, and learn to read the tape for a while. Problem is, 2 of my 3 brokers that allow the trading of US stocks do not even provide real-time sales data. The best I can get is a real time candle-stick chart...with no sales volume data to boot. Can anyone please advise if there are any brokers/service providers that do supply such data, and preferably for free? Also, any historical data/chart would be a bonus. I'm thinking of e-trade but I'm unsure if you need more than their basic platform to get such services. Thanks in advance!

ok, will go look it up. cheers!

Hey Kiwi, u're right there. I'm in Asia though, so will have to trade the US instead. home market registered only 1.2bn in trading volume yest., so i guess its pretty tame as compared to the US. thanks DbPheonix. You trade stocks? With Kiwi's suggestion, perhaps will just focus on one thing at a time. ok gassah. the platform i'm using does not have time and sales data, not even for stocks. thanks for sharing, am pretty new too. =D

Hello there, this is my maiden post. Would like to first thank the moderators et. al. for sharing. Found this website when I was trying to look up materials on tape reading. Would like to ask a question on Wyckoff too - Wyckoff and Livermore are both great masters of the tape. Is it possible to trade "on the tape" in the forex markets? I'm asking this because I have no exposure to forex at all, and can't trade stocks due to work commitment (I'm not a professional trader). Was thinking about the difference in methodology/strategy between the 2. Would appreciate any comment. Thanks!
