inexpensive delayed intraday OHLC and traded volume

[mihaela.g]

Hello,

I'd like to have access to some intraday delayed data. I am not a professional trader and I don't need real time data.
I would like to have access to intraday 1 minute OHLC and volume. I could pay a one time fee for some application that
allows me to do this, but for the purpose of learning, I don't want to invest a monthly fee for a paid professional data
feeder. One 'solution' I had found was to buy from www.tickdata.com. It costs $15/stock/year but they have a minimum order
of $200 which is too much.

I could write my own application to do this automatically if there is a website that provides this information. I haven't
found one to provide a open, high, low and close price for a 1-minute interval. I can see that I have info like Ask or Bid
on Yahoo Finance, I have no problem with them being delayed, but I don't see how to get the info I actually need about intraday
trades. I've also seen that on Yahoo Finance you can have a chart displayed with 5-minutes bars drawn as candlesticks, which means
that yahoo actually has, for each 5-minute interval, the OHLC prices and traded volume. If someone knows how to get this from the
site in some format that can be processed, please let me know.

If you know of any inexpensive way to get some intraday data, any help would be highly appreciated,
Mihaela

BigCharts dot com provides it. However, it is not in numerical values. You have to look at the lines to figure it out. If you need to feed the data into a program, then you're probably going to need a service.
