If I can't get market depth for stocks directly from SC, can i sign up for some service that will connect to SC for market depth for stocks?

my 2nd question is:

i Have a TDameritrade accnt. if i connect it to SC, what fees am i saving?...(just the exchange realtime quote fees since i'll be getting realtime quotes from TD, right?)

thanks

You might be able to get market depth data though for NYSE stocks through TD Ameritrade. You can try:

Hi i tried connecting SC to my tdameritrade accnt and the SC message log showed the following:

"getting streamer information: step 2 of 3"
"server error while trying to get the streamer info. Error: ns error msg. User is not allowed to access streamer."


so should i have to contacted TDameritrade first to let them know i'm trying to connect thru SC so they can activate "streamer"?

what is a streamer?

i can log into thinkorswim platform and display realtime charts w/o any issue so i dont know why i dont have access to 'streamer'

please help.
thanks

Yes you do need to contact TD Ameritrade about this error:
"User is not allowed to access streamer."

They should know what the term streamer means. It simply is referring to the API streaming real-time data.
