Good product. Minor issues. 100% worth the investment!

Good product. I do have occasions when formula is correct and I get an error message ... only to see, a short time later, that data has populated.
All in all, though, I'm very satisfied to have the capacity to do market analysis more efficiently than having to download from an outside source.

Why not show on the menu when the last update occurred. Thad would help manage the refreshments of my data more easily.

Unfortunately this is not possible because each formula refreshes at a different time depending on when the parameters change, when you add/remove columns or rows before it, etc.

You can add the "date" attribute to each formula's output to see the date/time the data was last updated.

I've just started to use MarketData

I've just started to use MarketData. I finished the first version of a Windows App that lets me gather and analize option chains and stock info.

So far so good. Servers have been up with no hiccups and my Application is running well with the API calls.

I would have given five stars but was disappointed that dividend data on stocks wasn't present. Dividend is a pretty standard metric. So I hope it is added soon.

5 stars because the tool is very useful…

5 stars because the tool is very useful and integrates with GSheets nicely. Without this tool, trading options would be far more difficult for me. The only downside is I find it a bit clunky to use because it lacks any kind of autorefresh function and the data does not persist--it seems I frequently need to manually request a refresh and it is unclear to me what sort of time limits are at play. The data it serves up are not persistent in the sheet so a manual refresh is required unless I manually copy the data and save it with a call to paste special/values only. These are minor gripes about a very useful app.

Solid Quote Solution for Options Trading

We started using the Market Data (MD) OPTIONCHAIN formula to help speed up our quote time and delta calculations for our trading team. The amount of time we have saved by using this data has been extremely helpful to our team. We have opened several tickets since we first signed up for our annual subscription and the MD team has been very quick to respond to trouble tickets and to explain the features and limitations of the current MD solutions. We look forward to several of the new features that are currently under development on their company roadmap.

Reliable and inexpensive

Quotes are reliable and service is inexpensive. Option quotes via an API are hard to come by so that's a plus for this service. A few quirks here and there with the Google Sheets but my Python program is quite happy being able to get quotes without having to scrape an unreliable web page.
