Advantages of using Real Time Markets™

Real Time Markets, from BetterTrades, offers a unique niche in the financial world. We are providing a "dynamic monitor" where a user can watch 20 symbols continuously updating without having to "refresh" your screen. We are providing scrolling news headlines with text recall. Charting, Portfolios, Company Reports, Market Statistics and more!!

Technology: We are not a browser based system. We are utilizing a software connection which is actively monitored on the server end. Our advantage: We are able to move users from one server to another flawlessly. Their disadvantage: If you have ever been on the internet during a federal reserve board statement, you must have experienced the HTTP error 404, the pages slow to fill or not filling at all.

Speed: We are using a push protocol rather than broadcast. Our advantage: We are only sending you the data you are requesting - even if you request hundreds of quotes with a single click. Their disadvantage: Broadcast feeds send all data from A through Z, causing bottleneck during heavy trading activity.

Direct from the Source: The BetterTrades advantage: we are using the same data feed direct from the exchanges that is used by hundreds of traders on the floor of the NYSE. Their disadvantage: Some vendors get their data feeds from a third-party vendor, what happens if that connection has problems? And for the other vendors who get the data from the exchanges like we do - ask them how many units they have on the floor of the exchange: their answer is bound to be zero.
