Just how "live" is Platinum's streaming price data?  If I pick a particular watchlist and start tapping the space bar to review individual charts,  will the price  for each chart reflect the real time latest price?  If I pause to study a particular chart will the price/price bar update live as I watch?  Or is their a delay?  If so, how long of a delay?  Thanks.

It's live. If you watch a Chart, the Price Chart should update as you watch. If you switch symbols, the Price initially shown will be the twenty-minute delayed data, but should quickly switch to the current RT Price (within a fraction of a second). Sometimes a server can get out of whack, but the only delay should generally be that introduced by the fact the prices (and your request to see them) have to pass through multple servers to get to both us and you.

Pull up Worden RT feed right next to Esignal, Tradestation, or Ameritrade streaming charts.

Select a thinly traded Nasdaq stock.

Observer carefully any differences.

Draw your own conclusions.

ha - actually I've compared the Platinum feed favorably to IB's and Thinkorswim's (in sync) though not with thinly traded stocks, which I don't trade.

Does anyone use the Platinum for day trading? And are you able to program or import you own indicators?

Tiger1220,
It is possible to create your own Indicators in TeleChart using the Custom Indicator feature.
