Please excuse me for being such a novice and redirect if this is not the right thread. I have some questions about trading data specifically in extended hours or overnight and live trading data generally. Based on a recent experience I had, IBKR lite is not the way to go if you are looking to trade outside of market hours **in a world where Robhinhood exists for free.\*\*** I did not realize that their data is not live overnight, nor is Apple stock data/Tickertech. Unfortunately I did not realize this and purchased AAPL at $188.xx, what it had ended at on Friday and said it was trading at on IBKR lite and Tickertech/Apple stocks. I happened to go over to Robinhood where I had deposited some funds to trade overnight and went to purchase another share of AAPL where I found it was trading at $178.xx. \*cringe\* Where does RH source their live data and where do I get more of this info if I want to move away from Robinhood in the future? Is overnight/after hours live trading data standardized (ie there's one source) or does it vary depending on the quality of the data? Ideally I'd like to get this for free. I understand that certain more complicated sources of live market data would have a cost associated. Thank you!
