Hi Octavian, It seems everyone out there forgets another option capable of offering intra-day free streaming data: AmiBroker. Indeed, you'd have to buy the product when the 30 days eval end but they offer unlimited opportunities in terms of connection to various brokers / data feeds, including google and yahoo finance (with free 5 / 15 minute intraday data). More than that, AmiBroker offer their SDK FOR FREE - such that you can extend / add the functionality you need. It's true NinjaTrader / Multicharts types of solutions are backed up by bigger development teams but they cost a fortune (both one off cost + they force you to buy a data subscription). For example, Multicharts - if you need a connection to another, "unsupported" broker / data source, you have to buy their SDK for $15000 - which is just crazy. Overall, benefits offered by AmiBroker counterbalance the lack of a "user-friendly" GUI. Thx
