Data Feeds LSE with IG

ashaw10 · 2020-07-29T11:23:26+00:00

Hi All, I’m with IG and trying out ProRealTime which I really like. I used the Top Movers – Opening gap up this morning. Market set to LSE MF (what does MF mean?) it produced a list of 30 stocks I then used TradingView screener against LSE with the filter to check for Stocks Gap% > 5% which produced a list of 34 stocks. I then compared the two lists, only 3 of the stocks were common on both lists, the rest were unique ? So my question is where do IG and TradingView receive their feeds from, do we not see the “full picture eg all of the stocks on LSE or just some of them” I’m looking for a professional platform with “feeds” that cover all of LSE. I’m hoping someone can help and advise. Thanks in advance.

It depends of the data of each broker. IG produces their own CFD (contract for difference) which are derivatives from the real stocks prices. I don’t know what other platforms are using.

So, obviously you’ll get different results if you are comparing different data.
