Hi - first post on this forum.
I am a programmer, and I've written my own programs for backtesting systems. In case you are wondering why I do that instead of using metatrader or other package, or whether my testing is trustworthy, let me assure you that I've been doing this for a living for many years (this specific kind of programming). I've consulted for dozens of corporations, including 2 companies managing fixed income portfolios that were 1st and 3rd in size globally at the time I was working for them. I have more control over the testing algorithms when I write them myself.
The problem I have now is that I have done back testing with historic data, but I need to do forward testing with live data. (When I was consulting for the companies, they always had the data feeds - I never had to search for them.) What's a good source for real-time quotes that I can directly dowload to my application without using an intermediary app like metatrader?
Thanks for your help
