furthermore, it would be nice if it was color colored or something subtle telling us this is a real time quote vs a delayed quote

cost of real time data for non US stocks
P

I saw in a few posts people asking re real time prices for non-US stocks
and a reply that there was a negotiation with vendors as it was prohibitely expensive.
As an additional data point,
I also use investing.com, and for a subscription price of US$150 / year,
they do offer real time prices on UK, European, HK and Australian stocks (havent checked others).
Now while investing.com offers a lot of data, it does have its disadavantages:
mainly that they have tasked over-caffeinated, color-blind junior marketers to make the interface annoying.
(fwiw, if it is not obvious, I'm hoping to exit investing.com and just use Koyfin).
But if they can afford it, shouldn't Koyfin be able to offer a price tier that included it?
15 minutes delayed would be fine, just better than yesterdays.

Hi Michael, Investing dot com is in the ads business primarily. So too are Google Finance and Yahoo Finance (both of which have considerable resources behind them too).
It's a different model. Google Finance offers intra-day prices for free. So does Yahoo Finance. Investing dot com offers the data, but they are a larger organization that Koyfin and don't have a similar business model.
There are two routes.
1) Licence the data with broad commercial usage. You pay a single price, and can distribute it to all users, regardless of the number of users (in theory). The price is incredible high relative to our size.
2) You create some kind of intermediary whereby the user can subscribe to various pricing packages for live data. This means Koyfin doesn't bear the upfront cost, but is a considerably worse user experience and not something we want to do.
I understand the frustration (I am based in the UK and would like this feature personally), but want to do this, when the time is right.

Hi Conor
In fact the $150 subscription dismisses the ads, ads are just for the free tier,
but I do understand the point about relative sizes
- they have been around a while and have (they claim) a lot of users.
I think one only needs live data when one is planning to execute a trade,
and one's trading platform will give you that.
My suggestion is rather delayed data, say 15 minutes or 1 hour, which I think is more affordable.
The idea that "the user can subscribe to various pricing packages for live data"
is not ridiculous, as most people only want data for particular markets.
You could consider a test for just say your most popular market after North America.
Anyway, it is an important but not a huge issue.

Papaya whip Pike: I was more so referring to the company, investing dot com. They sell subscriptions, but the majority of their revenue is ads, thus they are primarily an ads business. I am not privy to what their terms are, if the rates differ depending on the type of commercial usage, so I can't comment there.
My comments thus far have pertained to delayed (15m) data. Live and/or bid-ask is even more expensive.
I agree it's not a horrible solution. At Koyfin we tend to focus on the best user experience, and while the segmentation of various regional or exchange-based pricing packages is flexible, it's not something we aspire to. We want to offer global pricing for all users.
Rest assured all of the suggestions you make have been discussed internally, we have studied various options, and we still are looking at vendors, and hope to deliver this to users.
As soon as there is a timeline, i'll be the first to update all of our users who have requested this.

The ability to run stock screeners while the market is operating is essential to any trader looking for opportunities. This shortcoming is crippling.
Thank you in advance for your time and cooperation.

Conor MacNeil you mentioned this would be implemented by year end -- are we still on that timeline?
Conor MacNeil
Oxblood Swan: Hi Kunal, I think it's unlikely we do this in 2025. It's not something we are developing this quarter, and I don't believe it will be a focus next quarter.

Orchid Newt
Conor MacNeil Any realistic estimates so we can set our expectations straight. Like when can users expect this feature to be an area of focus? From then possibly two quarters before this feature is relased. Appreciate forthcoming answers. Thank you.
Conor MacNeil
Orchid Newt: Hey Umar, I try to be as candid as possible to manage expectations. I typically give a timeline if it's something we are designing/developing, but in this case it's a matter of licensing the data, which has ben prohibitively expensive thus far.
We did explore vendors earlier in the year. But I don't have a timeline to share at this time. When I know, i'll update everyone.

Conor MacNeil This and some other requested features would make me happily give up TradingView premium to be able to pay for Koyfin. Just can't wait. Maybe you should have a database of users willing to go premium on Koyfin and then see if it makes economical sense.
Conor MacNeil
Orchid Newt Appreciate that insight. Live data is a tough one because it's more of a table-stakes feature. I'm not certain its something we'd charge for, and if we did it would likely be in the lowest paid plan.
Similar to requests for things like index coverage, they feel like basic table stakes features, but they are incredible expensive to licence.
I am based in the UK, and own a fair amount of UK and European stocks, so I know the pain. I'm sure we will do it at some point, and when we do i'll update this ticket.
What other features are you waiting on?
