Schwab Streamer API

Live Market Data

Millisecond-latency Level 1 quotes streamed directly from Charles Schwab for every symbol you track.

Helius Terminal connects directly to the Schwab QUOTE_EQUITY streaming service via WebSocket — giving you real-time bid, ask, last price, size, and volume data for all your positions and watchlist symbols simultaneously. This live feed powers every other feature in the terminal: the prediction model, alerting, P&L tracking, and AI analysis all consume the same real-time stream.

Key Capabilities

What this feature does for you

Real-Time Level 1 Quotes

Bid, ask, last price, bid size, ask size, and volume streamed live for every symbol in your watchlist and positions — updated on every market tick.

Microprice Computation

The terminal computes microprice (size-weighted fair value) from live bid/ask/size data — a more accurate estimate of true market value than raw last price.

Multi-Symbol Simultaneous Streaming

All positions and watchlist symbols are streamed in a single WebSocket connection. Adding or removing symbols dynamically updates the subscription without reconnecting.

Powers All Downstream Features

The live stream is the data spine of the terminal. The prediction model, alerting service, portfolio P&L, and trade execution all consume this same real-time feed.

Automatic Reconnection

If the WebSocket connection drops, the terminal automatically reconnects with exponential backoff and resubscribes to all active symbols — no manual action required.

Market Hours Awareness

The terminal is aware of pre-market, regular session, and after-hours trading. Data continues to stream during extended hours where Schwab provides it.
