Do you like RealTick? What subscription + services do you have from them? From the looks of it you have to pay extra for NYSE/Nasdaq bid/ask/last.

what refresh rate are you using for your 5-min charts during active trading?

Real Tick is a fast and reliable platform. I have the Pro version I believe and it costs about $400 a month.I have only th einfo I need and don't use any of their add ons.

My program says that it updates a maximum of 200 times per second(conservation settings) if that's what you mean. RealTick is a Direct Access Trading (DAT)platform which means I am hooked directly into the market. I don't go through a broker. Execution is in milliseconds, not multi seconds or minutes like online trading. I can also choose my routing to any ECN, or MM.
If you are trading online you are at a disadvantage.
