what about the datafeed? how long will it take?
I've subscribed MDP's most basic data feed package called RT-1 which cost me about Rs.628 for a one month plan though its advertised as Rs.500 which I didn't bother to pursue..
I was using global data feeds amibroker plugin but found it to be a little pricey at Rs.2200 per month and they only provide NSE F&O data.
Since I only follow the Index for now, MDP seems like a reasonable bet as I can track Nifty Spot,Banknifty etc with their Amibroker plugin. Support is a little shady, payment has to be made via card. Couldn't locate a reseller in India however, so took a risk but the experience has been satisfactory so far at a fourth of GDFL's cost. No disconnections, no downtime in the last 10 odd days.
They do provide 20 days backfill for the selected scrip as well. Only requirement is .Net Framework 3.5 and of course, Amibroker or Metastock.
