What is the difference between delayed data and real-time broker data?
OptiView provides either 15-minute delayed market data or real-time broker data, depending on whether a brokerage account is connected. Delayed data is available to all users, while real-time data is provided by a connected broker.
Real-time broker data
- Access real-time equity and options prices through a connected brokerage account
- Availability depends on the broker’s market data subscriptions and entitlements
- Used for live pricing when evaluating or preparing trades
15-minute delayed data
- Access 15-minute delayed prices for U.S.-listed equities and options
- Available without connecting a brokerage account
- Suitable for options strategy analysis and payoff visualization
Limitations and data disclaimers
- OptiView does not guarantee the completeness, accuracy, or timeliness of market data
- Delayed data is intended for analysis and strategy evaluation, not precise trade execution
- Real-time data availability depends entirely on broker-provided market data access
