Any recommendations on the best way to do that? It would be basic data, open/high/low/close/volume at end of day, and perhaps a couple times during the day.
It would be for most of the tickers in the SiPro database, to update screens on the fly.
There are various possible sources, the better ones cost $. Does anyone use Interactive Brokers API to do that?
Excel can do it with the Stock data type but I'm pretty sure that's slow and buggy.
