2009/April/06 We have had several questions about how the delayed data from Barchart.com works so we have written a description of what to expect when using Barchart.com delayed data. When you subscribe to any Barchart.com real-time data feed most of the other feeds are made available as a delayed data feed. To read this article Click Here.

2009/Mar/06 We selected Barchart.com to work with MarketWarrior 4.6 because Barchart.com offers one of the best values of any real-time data service. I have been subscribing to data services for almost 20 years so let me take a moment and explain why Barchart.com is a good value. First, the base subscription price for Barchart.com is only $39 + exchange fees which includes the ability to have third party software access the data. Other real-time data services that offer this type of low starting price lock the data into their web site display, and do not allow any third party access. When third party access is made available it requires a substantial additional fee. Barchart.com is the only real-time data service to combined a low starting price and third party access. Second, Barchart.com has a good selection of data packages to help a trader subscribe to what they want and keep their data costs low. For example, look at the image from the Barchart.com sign-up page below. They have a $10/mo data package for CBOT Mini contracts while other data services require you to subscribe to the full CBOT data package to get the mini contracts. Also notice Barchart.com has created a data package of "1 Minute Snapshot" for CBOT futures contracts for only $15/mo. Third, when you subscribe to a Barchart.com real-time subscription, the other markets are provided to you on a 15-20 minute delayed bases. Other data services make you pay extra to receive delayed data from additional markets. Fourth, the real-time subscriber can access the Barchart.com daily, weekly and monthly data which includes their history of perpetual continuous futures contracts and perpetual nearest futures contracts. Traditionally data services consider perpetual futures to be a premium item and charge extra for accessing this type of data. You can download the MarketWarrior 4.6 free trial here and you can sign-up for real-time data from Barchart.com here.
2009/Feb/21 Owners of MarketWarrior can download the version 4.6 beta. This is available on the MarketWarrior owners page. This new version works with real-time data from Barchart.com. You can signup for real-time data from Barchart.com here.
