Quant opinion: Open Tick alternative is ActiveTick which is very affordable
Someone commented below as an alternative to free OpenTick:
A good alternative for me was ActiveTick (they’re not affiliated with opentick,
I’ve double checked). They have C++ APIs for windows, linux, and mac osx, as
well as C# and Java. I must say their data stream is excellent, and is very low
latency (I measured 10ms for me, and I’m on the west coast).
