Future Feature: Current Price/Volume Data #111

Open SRuss76 opened 3 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently, our free Alpha Vantage educational key does not give us access to current price and volume data. We can only get price and volume data from the last full trading day and back.

Describe the solution you'd like It would be good to have the 1D chart populate with current price and volume data and get continually updated automatically every 10 sec or so while looking at the chart. This feature would make our product much more competitive with other financial tools.

Describe alternatives you've considered Two options to implement this solution are to find a different API to pull the data from or get funding to pay for an Alpha Vantage premium key.

Additional context The Alpha Vantage premium key is a hefty monthly subscription. (https://www.alphavantage.co/premium/)

The folks at AlphaVantage responded to a request for a free student testing version. They let me know that they can't offer such a discount, but that we can apply for a waiver from NASDAQ. Here is a link to the academic waiver form: https://www.nasdaqtrader.com/content/administrationsupport/AgreementsData/Academic_Waiver_Form.pdf
