Delayed data

Real-time exchange data carries per-user licensing fees; where a provider only offers a delayed feed, every quote from it shows how many minutes old it is rather than being presented as live. This product plans and monitors swing and position trades, not intraday execution, so a delay of around 15 minutes is a reasonable cost tradeoff — but a price you're about to act on is worth checking against a live source first.
