Effective July 3rd, 2006

 

The Philadelphia Stock Exchange has begun to charge for data that some of us use. This is symbol data for indexes such as the SOX, XAU, and OSX (and more).

 

eSignal is currently researching how to handle this and restore the data to the QCharts feed.  eSignal will release a solution to this when they have one available. 

 

More details are here:
