The "daily Call" From Option Alpha: Options Trading | Stock Options | Stock Trading | Trading Online

Hey everyone. This is Kirk here again from Option Alpha and welcome back to the daily call. Today, we’re going to answer the question – “Where to get free real-time quotes?” A lot of people who get started are very apprehensive to paying for market data and so, for many people, when they get started, they’re trying to find free stock quotes and free option quotes. The reality is that there's a couple places where you can get free quotes out there and you can just Google search it. There’s probably a list of 30 or 40. What I've even found in doing this just the other day and kind of researching this a little bit for the podcast is that a lot of these places have tons of ads, they’re riddled with opt-ins and boxes and things to check. Even the CBOE, you have to physically type in the security that you want, then pull up the quotes, then type in potentially the expiration month that you want, then pull up the quote and at that point, you’re already probably 10 or 15 seconds into actually pulling up a quote on so
