Your Go-To List of Places to Get Real-Time Stock Market Quotes

Interested in real-time stock market quotes for Google? How about Apple? Or do you want to get up-to-date fundamental ratios, such as a stock’s EPS, ROE, P/E and more?

Most sites on the internet will get you quotes delayed by 15 minutes or even more.

Not the sites on this list.

We’ve got a list of websites that provide real-time, accurate and detailed stock market quotes for a number of major exchanges, including Nasdaq, NYSE, and even some European and Asian exchanges.

Here’s your go-to list of places to get real-time stock market quotes for your favourite stock.

#1 Nasdaq Real-Time Quotes

Nasdaq (National Association of Securities Dealers) is a US-based stock exchange, ranked second by the value of market capitalisation of the traded shares. The Nasdaq Stock Market is owned by Nasdaq, Inc., and has been operational since 1971 as the world’s first electronic stock market. 

You can get real-time quotes from the Nasdaq exchange directly on its website. Quotes are available at three levels: Level 1 includes the highest bid and lowest ask prices, Level 2 shows all public quotes of makers and recently executed orders, while Level 3 is used by market makers for trade execution.

We like that the website features real-time time and sales data for all U.S. stocks listed on Nasdaq and NYSE, including Tesla, Amazon, Apple, and Facebook. And by clicking on Advanced Charting in the Quick Links menu, traders can also get access to charting tools such as trendlines and Fibonacci levels on multiple timeframes.

#2 StocksTracker

As its name suggests, StocksTracker tracks and provides real-time quotes for major US stocks. The interface of the website is similar to stock trading platforms, with a list of stocks placed on the left side, price information and news placed in the middle (including open, high, low, and close prices), and a chart placed on the right side of the website.

Quotes for major blue-chip stocks, such as Apple, Google, and IBM, can be accessed without the need to register. However, if you want to add more stocks and build a customised watchlist, you’ll need to register on StocksTracker.

StockTracker’s charts offer all necessary tools to perform technical analysis, including a variety of technical indicators. However, we find the dimensions of the space dedicated to the chart to be somewhat small for professional traders. The website also offers a news service for each stock, which can come handy for traders who are interested in the fundamental side of the market.

#3 CBOE Real-Time Stock Quotes

The Chicago Board Options Exchange is the largest U.S. options exchange, offering options on over 2,200 companies, 22 stock indices, and 140 ETFs. 

CBOE’s website also features a free real-time stock quotes service with access to Nasdaq Last Sale (NLS) stock quotes. The service includes the last sale price, OHLC prices for the trading day, and the traded volume among other important data. There is also a historical data table which can come very handy to traders who trade with a mean-reversion strategy. Unfortunately, CBOE doesn’t offer any chart to accompany the data.

#4 TradingView

TradingView offers sophisticated charts and charting tools for thousands of stocks worldwide, covering all major stock exchanges from the US, Europe, and Asia. 

TradingView is more than just a charting website with real-time quotes – it’s a complete social trading platform where you can search through trade ideas, publish your own ideas and much more. 

However, these features come with a price – while traders can use most of the functionalities for free, advanced tools such as watchlists and access to minor stock exchanges have to be paid for. 

#5 TMX Money

If you’re particularly interested in the Canadian stock market, then don’t miss TMX Money. The website provides real-time last sale data for TSX, TSXV and Alpha equities in the Canadian market. The website is one of the first to provide this level of data for Canada. 

On the detailed quote page, you’ll find real-time data and charts for the last 25 trades. We like that real-time stock market data is also shown directly on the mobile version of the website. So if you’ve forgotten your laptop on the trip, simply open the site on your smartphone and stay up-to-date on the Canadian market. 

#6 CNBC

Since 2008, traders can get real-time quotes on CNBC, directly from Nasdaq. CNBC claims that their quotes are coming straight from the exchange, whereas other sites are using real-time quotes from ECN exchanges which may differ from the real price by a few cents or more.

CNBC’s real-time data are quite detailed and include the open, high, low and close prices, detailed charts, real-time news and more. Traders can also get information on company revenue, EPS and P/E ratios, EBITDA, ROE, and other important fundamental data.

Unfortunately, real-time stock market quotes and upgraded feeds are available only in the paid version. Free users still get delayed streaming data. 

We like that users can plot option charts with the underlying stock to check the relationship between them, and there are fully customised watchlists to help you keep track of everything important in the market. 

#8 Quotestream

Want real-time stock market quotes with lightning-fast data and a trading platform interface? Then look no further than Quotestream. There’re three versions available: Quotestream Desktop, Quotestream Mobile and Quotestream Professional.

The site covers hundreds of stocks and dozens of stock indices from all over the world, including Dow and S&P 500, DAX, FTSE, Hang Seng, Kospi and more. All market data is provided by Barchart Market Data Solutions, while fundamental company data is provided by Morningstar and Zacks Investment Research. 

Investing.com also covers the futures market and commodities, making it one of the most comprehensive sites on the internet.

Another popular site for real-time market quotes, MarketWatch covers markets from the US, Europe, Asia, currencies, bonds, futures, and cryptocurrencies. Stocks are updated in real-time with charts that feature advanced charting tools. The website also covers important fundamental data, including P/E ratios, dividend values, market cap of companies and much more. 

Besides an overall company overview, traders can also get historical quotes analyst estimates, and information on SEC filings.

We also like the personalised and powerful watchlists that can be created on the website. 

#12 Yahoo! Finance

At Yahoo! Finance, you can get free real-time stock market quotes for Nasdaq and NYSE-listed stocks. Quotes are provided by Nasdaq.

The site also provides free interactive charts with great charting tools, including more than 100 technical indicators to analyse the chart. Since Yahoo! is also a news service, we like that real-time news is also provided for each stock.

Yahoo! Finance also allows you to create personalised watchlists with an unlimited number of stocks, and you can connect your brokerage account directly to the site for executing trades. 

There’s also a paid version of Yahoo! Finance. For $34.99, the Premium service offers enhanced charting tools, third-party investment research and more. 

#13 StockCharts

As its name suggests, StockCharts primary focus is to provide powerful price-charts with advanced charting tools and real-time price-quotes.

Traders can choose between free and paid plans, depending on their needs. The free plan has certain limitations, such as smaller charts, limited historical price-data and it lets you plot only three indicators at once. 

To get additional tools and features, there are three paid plans available, starting at $14.95 for the Basic plan to $39.95 for the Pro plan. 

#14 Stock Master App

Want an app instead of a website to get real-time stock market quotes?

Then the Stock Master app deserves your consideration. 

With a rating of 4.6 and more than 34,000 downloads, the app is one of the most popular apps for real-time stock quotes on the App Store.

You can create portfolios and personalised watchlists, check major stock indices all at one page, and get detailed stock data including technical levels, OHLC prices, and price-charts.

#15 Business Insider

Business Insider offers a free service of real-time stock market quotes for US stocks. All stocks come with detailed charts and other important market data, such as market cap, company profile, dividends, and news. 

The Market Movers tab will get you the top gainers and losers that are listed on Dow Jones, with the daily, 3-month, 6-month and 1-year change in price. 

We like the Stocks Screener that allows you to search and filter through stocks with a number of filters, including the industry, country, index, and exchange they’re traded on.  

#16 Bloomberg

Bloomberg is a well-known source of global financial news, covering all markets from the Asia-Pacific region to America. Besides being up-to-date on important breaking news, Bloomberg also allows you to get real-time stock market data from across the world. The site covers fundamental data of stocks, including their market cap and relevant news that could impact a specific stock.

Bloomberg’s charts are easy to follow without advanced charting tools. You can also switch between a number of timeframes, including the daily chart, 1-month chart, 6-month chart, year-to-date chart, 1-year chart, and 5-year chart.

#17 Seeking Alpha

If you want a platform that has real-time stock quotes, market news, analysis, investment strategies and more, then Seeking Alpha deserves a place in your bookmarks. The site covers both US and global stock markets, includes reports from specific market industries, and lists top market gainers and losers. 

If you become a registered user, you can also create personalised watchlists and receive real-time alerts of important market events directly to your e-mail inbox. 

#18 FINVIZ

Finviz is a very interesting site that covers important market events and numbers with infographics and charts. There are many stunning visualisations on the site, including graphics that show market caps or largest stocks, their daily performance and more. 

The site features tables that group top gainers and losers in the market, stocks that are reaching new highs, stocks that trade at unusual volumes and are at overbought levels and much more. 

#19 Barchart

Barchart is a membership site but it also has a lot of free content that could be very useful to active traders. The site covers all important global financial markets, including stocks, ETFs, options, futures, currencies, commodities, and bonds. 

At Barchart, traders can also get up-to-date news and analysis that could impact the markets. 

We like the currency heatmaps at the site, grouping currencies that are top gainers and losers, and the charts that aggregate historical Commitment of Traders reports and values.

#20 MorningStar

MorningStar is a popular independent research house that was founded 30 years ago. If you’re looking for important market news and real-time market quotes, then take a look at MorningStar and check whether it suits your needs. 

There is also a “Learn” section that includes educational articles and an investing glossary, and a “Plan” section for tax planning, personal finance and more. 

We like the “Research” section that covers mutual funds, stocks, ETFs, bonds, and investment tips.
