Yahoo Financial and Google offers free real-time quotes, so why should I pay for it here?
Yahoo! and Google do NOT offer real-time Bid/Ask quotes like we do. They only offer last trade prices which are not real-time quotes. Still not clear what the difference is? The difference is like hearing what someone is offering to pay for a stock RIGHT NOW verses what someone paid for it in the past. Getting real-time quotes ensures that you will know exactly what price your order will get filled at when you Trade a stock.
