Broker Features
Online brokers have a set of features and tools included with your online trading account. The default set of tools usually includes streaming charts and streaming data. Your streaming data allows you to see the latest real time prices of stocks in your watch list or portfolio.
Most brokers also have additional features that are not included in the basic trading account. These additional features often have additional costs. Level 2 data and real time streaming news generally fall in to this category and have additional monthly fees.
