The NASDAQ uses QMCI data for options. The NASDAQ options value summary shows over $1,000,000,000 in transactions every day that the market is open according to bats.com.

The entire TMX uses QMCI market data as well, which makes quotemedia arguably one of the largest market data providers in North America.

Recent consolidation of option data providers is clear to anyone paying attention.

The CBOE has recently acquired BATS in a transaction worth $3,200,000,000.

E-trade has recently acquired the parent company of optionshouse for $725,000,000.

Now, both E*TRADE and TD Ameritrade have announced reductions in commissions for their option trading clients. They seem to be adjusting their commissions to be more in line with brokers like eoption.com that uses quotemedia market data.

TD Bank, NYSE:TD (parent company of TD Ameritrade,) uses quotemedia data for their educational stock trading website.

They even have tutorials available to help traders understand how advanced stock trading works for those who are confused.


That way, informed traders have a way to bet against a crappy covered call silver fund.

LOL, ouch.

To soon?

Hahahaha...Once again, I would hate to be the one bragging on that POS.

IMO and FWIW.
