ELWAVE Supported data feeds and formats

   

The following table lists all data feeds and file formats supported by ELWAVE 8.0. Intraday data (real time or not) always requires the Intraday module. Some data feeds are supported both directly through our UDS ServerFeed module as well as through DDE. File based data formats generally do not require the UDS ServerFeed module.

We offer reduced rates and free trials for several data vendors, see Notes column for details.

UDS ServerFeed

Our UDS ServerFeed module provides a direct link between your ELWAVE application and your data providers servers. This makes opening a chart as easy as typing or select the symbol of your choice. Historical data will be retrieved directly from the data vendors Internet servers and your charts will be kept uptodate in real time, making this a true worry-free, zero-maintenance solution for your data needs. You do not have to worry about gaps in your data. A Quote Monitor window is also available so you can watch and analyze all your stocks from within ELWAVE.

For Service contract holders we have special deals for the use of our UDS Realtime module. Check under the Service Contract page!
