Live Data Snapshot

Trading Term

Snapshot quotes provide an instantaneous quote that does not stream on the trading platform, while real-time quotes provide a constant stream of live, updated quotes. Both types provide the National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO). Snapshot quotes can be requested through Classic TWS using the Snapshot button in the Ticker Action column, in Mosaic via the +SNAPSHOT link in the Order Entry window, through Client Portal in the Order Ticket window, and automatically in IBKR Mobile when placing orders for US stocks. To qualify for snapshot quotes, accounts must maintain the Market Data Subscription Minimum and Maintenance Equity Balance Requirements.
