I saw this thread about the data sources for back testing, however I failed to find the source for live minute trading.
On a side note when I use IB as my broker is the data also coming from them? If not wouldn’t it be a precarious situation?
My main focus is equities and options.

Hey Moshe,
You can choose between the brokerage data feed and our data provider. QuantConnect provides free live data for intraday trading on equities. However, you'll have to use the InteractiveBrokers data feed for live options data.
