Happy Monday Bruce,

I'm currently rocking Gold w/ delayed-data. Will be adding real-time next weekend so I can start simulated trading next week.

How many Streaming Scans do I get? I see the Streaming icon, but I couldn't find the number available in the docs. Probably missed it.

Not quite ready to go Platinum, so I'm hoping I can stream enough scans w/ Gold. I don't need many for my trading plan.

Thanks!

You get 1 streaming scan with Gold or 15 with Platinum. You can add 3 extra streaming scans for $10.00 / month or 10 extra streaming scans for $25.00 / month.

Thanks, Bruce! Good to know.

My current trading plan requires 4 streaming scans, so it looks like the barista is getting $10 less in her tip jar this week. I'll make it up to her later. ;)

Hey Bruce,

Looks like for the cost of another two or three lattes, I can just go full on Platinum instead of adding all that stuff onto Gold.

Haven't subscribed to Platinum in a few years. Can I assume real-time data is included? Or do I have to pay extra? Options data included?

Realtime is not included with Platinum. Options are included in all plans, but not RT options. More details are available on the Plans & Pricing page.

Bruce, thanks the link. I was just there a few minutes ago ... couldn't find the bit about adding 3 streaming scans for $10 ... where is that info?

If real-time data is not included in Platinum, then it makes no sense for me to upgrade to it at the moment. Is that new? Back in the day when I had Platinum I don't recall paying extra for real-time data, but I don't recall what I had for breakfast yesterday. :)

I guess I'm going to stick with Gold (for now) with all the à la carte add-ons ...

• Gold:  $29.99
• Real-Time U.S. Stock Data:  $14.99
• Real-Time U.S. Index Data:  $9.99
• Real-Time U.S. Options Data:  $9.99
• 3 Extra Streaming Scans (4 Total):  $10

Total: $74.96

Does that look right? Did I miss anything?

At the moment I want to trade SPY options, 4 Streaming EasyScans, real-time S&P 500 Index, and a partridge in a pear tree. :)

There was a time when the Platinum package had RT data, but it has been a long time and there were exchange fees on top the base price on a different billing cycle. Now the exchange fees are rolled into the RT data.

You can get some of the pricing data for feeds by clicking through on your plan in the plans and pricing page. I think you may need to call customer service to get the extra streaming scans.

Cool, thanks. Yeah, I guess it has been a while.

Don't have wireless access at the moment, but I'll check tonight to see if I can order the extra streaming scans through the TC2000/My Services interface.

If not, I'll just call Customer Service Friday. Have a great week!

I hope you have a great week as well.

Just an fyi, you can add the extra streaming scans on your own by firing up TC2000, and navigating to Help > My Profile > Services.

Easy peasy. :)

Good to know. Thanks!

Always happy to help.

Bruce, just a follow up to Al's question.  So if someone subscribes to Platinum, and then pays the $25 to have 10 extra streaming scans, then the user can have a total of 25 live streaming scans?

Thank you.  

Yes, that would give you 25 live streaming scans.
